There was a significant price hike this year, after being in the $35/year range for the longest. 7) truly anonymous purchasing, you can use V/MC gift cards (bought with cash), and no billing address required (use a bogus address, tech support confirmed to me doesn't matter), can also accept store gift cards for Payment (Walmart, Amazon, Target, STarbucks, and so on) If you have a lot of devices, something to consider. Many of the other 'top ten' are still only five devices. 6) ten connections per account, up from 5 last year. All my personal machines are on VPN from the time they boot up, 24/7. 5) RARELY any connection drops, and I'm on all the time. 4) No logging (of course this is matter of belief with any VPN). 3) I get full bandwidth that my ISP offers even when connected. 2) Variety, number and locations of servers, virtually all parts of the globe covered. I come back to PIA because: 1) Apps for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Linux, along with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Opera. I've tried others (Nordvpn, IPVanish, most of the ones that are frequently in a Top Five list by reviewers). Been using this service and the app for 7 years.
