They should shift their emphasis from "more servers" to "better servers." Currently they manage over 1000 US servers, but their mindset remains unchanged—prioritizing availability over performance. Recently, the P2P throttling has become a significant obstacle for me. Still, things are overall positive, and I’m planning to renew this summer.
You're experiencing increasing delays on your private internet connection, especially when accessing UK servers. While you occasionally manage around 70MB, your typical speed is much higher at 350MB. This suggests a possible server-side issue or bandwidth throttling.

I told PIA to stop using their service and canceled it after they began severely slowing my connection whenever Steam updated or downloaded a game. I reached out to them, but they denied any issues. My internet speed dropped dramatically—from several MB/s to just 50Kbps or worse—as soon as Steam started downloading anything. It’s clear they were monitoring and logging my data.
