Thank you for saving me the typing.

No it's not gonna make you an invisible unhackable ghost, but at least I don't have to worry about my ISP screwing me over.

Why are you worried about your ISP tracking you but not the VPN company? In effect you've simply added another ISP on top.

Most people can switch VPN companies more easily than they can switch ISPs.

This is the case for me. I _know_ that my ISP is untrustworthy, I've read the ToS.It's also bundled with my apartment and I can't switch.

What I can switch however is what VPS company I use, or what commercial VPN I connect to.

Plus, the harm from being banned by a VPN is a lot lower than an ISP, as low as the chances of either are.
