- Using torrents or similar file-sharing type services on a network tha blocks them (public hotspots sometimes) or simply from a network other
When you use those VPN services, they know what your originating IP is, what your destination IP is, and what kind of traffic you're sending to that destination. It's the same stuff that your ISP would know if you weren't using the VPN. I'm not sure what difference it makes which one them has that information. You're already paying your ISP, so unless yo have some reason not to trust them, why would you go trust some other rando any more than them?
If you do any torrenting, some ISPs actively monitor torrent activity, where ISP with that information..

I agree in that I believe most western ISPs (US, Canada, UK etc.) cooperate with law enforcement if that's your concern. They are, as mentioned, good for viewing content blocked in your region. They're not going to keep the FBI el al off your doorstep.
