Is private Internet access (PIA) still a good privacy option, (lemmy.world)

I have had PIA for years on desktop and mobile with firefox and it's been fine. Any reason I should consider switching, or is it still generally good for privacy?

I occasionally torrent. But I'd like to browse and post politically sensitive content safely. Here on Lemmy, but also other non federated places.

Thanks

No. I bought it and it was pushing my internet speed down by half with all options tried, it would also gradually slow further. I switched back to express, it's no hassle at all, ever.
