Ugh, this sucks. I've used PIA for ages as well. Their infrastructure is really great too - I get better latency on PIA than my own ISP sometimes!

If you got better latency through a VPN than your ISP that means your ISP sucks, not that the VPN is great.

Well, I was using Openreach which is the largest consumer ISP in the UK. Specifically my latencies were better to the US when using PIA. So PIA had more favourable routing / commercial agreements than the largest UK ISP. So I'd say the VPN infrastructure is pretty good, even if it's simply relying on AWS or something.
