  "account": "Private Internet Access (PIA) has expanded its VPN network by adding 15 new server locations, bringing the total to 170 locations in 104 countries. This update targets the Caribbean, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, bringing new options to countries like Cuba, Belarus, Myanmar, Pakistan, and the Cayman Islands. In addition to these new locations, PIA also added city-level servers in Naples and Tottenham. While the majority of the new locations are virtual, the Naples and Tottenham servers allow users to appear as if they are connecting from a specific city rather than just a country. PIA's expansion aims to fill in gaps on its map and provide more choice for users, with closer servers potentially reducing latency and improving connection quality. However, PIA's international reach still lags behind competitors like ExpressVPN, Proton VPN, and NordVPN.",
