I like most of their policies, but they really need to be explicit about their usage limits. "You can only use a reasonable amount from our service. How much is reasonable? You'll find out when you hit it and we decide to drop the hammer, take your money, and never speak to you again."

Where are you quoting that from? I can't find anything in the ToS about that and one of the features they list is "Unmetered VPN Transfer".

  Really? Cause I found this: "Additionally, we may impose usage limits to our services, suspend or block services, or cancel any and all services at our sole discretion at any time. Finally, we do not guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of any data received." You can see that little gem here: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/terms-of-service/ https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/terms-of-service... under Service Level Agreement "Subscriber understands that Privateinternetaccess.com also reserves the right to scale back or throttle bandwidth originating from subscriber accounts that may breach the present Agreement or in the event of excessive usage on the Privateinternetaccess.com network." Same page, under Our Rights Which is REALLY ODD that they would have those terms, because on their contact page: "Are there any limitations on usage or bandwidth?" "We do not impose any restrictions or limitations on usage and/or bandwidth consumption. Please feel free to engage in any legal activity. " Huh. Wonder which one I should believe?

    That's very different to what you originally quoted! Having said that, yes, there is a discrepancy there, although I've got a feeling it's a CYA provision in case someone with Google Fiber decides to download all of YouTube.
