While I agree that trust is a _giant_ issue, speed and price (due bandwidth needed/used) is also a major concern if you're one looking for an always-on VPN solution.

I personally used PIA for a few months mostly due to cost and it is at or near my speed cap at all times. I have also rolled my own VPN using a VPS at the same price point, however, considering that bandwidth would be limited and speeds were not as stable, it's hard for me to choose that route for my use cases.

Sure, if I need absolute security I wouldn't use PIA and I'd reconsider using a VPN on any VPS on US soil. But then, one would have to consider if it will be worth it.
