I think you can trust a VPN provider to make iPlayer work when you're not in 
the UK, or to get a better menu of television on Netflix, or to obscure the 
fact that you like to visit webpages that might get you a letter from the MPAA, 
but it could well be a stretch to say that you trust them not to subvert the 
DNS when you visit Paypal. The average end-user doesn't know what DNS is, never 
mind DNSSEC.
