If your online activities are not illegal then I ask why your using a VPN?

Yes you can surf the net anonymously! or can you................ VPN companies collect and store your activities online for a minimum period of two years. This data is accessible by the policing authorities as required. For example.... you download a copyrighted film that requires the payment of royalties, free. Or you rob a bank or use stolen banking info to empty someone’s bank account of £30K!

The policing authorities can make a request to the VPN company to find out information about you, with this info they make a second request for information to your ISP. It is the info that they get secondly from your ISP that identifies who you are...... Got You!

A VPN just gives the policing authorities another hoop to jump through to get you.

VPN companies sell the data they collect from users too! So your use of the internet is not private either.
On my cable connection even allowing for up to 1/3 loss of speed it's not really noticeable so a non issue.

You just get a provider from outside of the 14 eyes jurisdiction, then its a non-issue.

Someone who keeps minimal or zero logs is a plus too, they can't hand over anything that doesn't exist.
