Hi Faith, the dedicated IP service for PIA is a new feature that they have introduced. Here's what they say about it, "Secure your remote connections to any asset with a dedicated IP from a country of your choice. During your subscription, this IP will be yours and yours alone, protecting your data transfers with the strongest encryption out there."

I believe that the main difference is that streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime will detect standard VPN connections and will make you turn off your VPN while you use them, but if you have a dedicated IP address they probably won't be able to detect that you are on a VPN, so you will be able to keep it on all the time. If you will remember to turn your VPN on after you use these services, then you probably don't need it. But if you want to just keep your VPN on all the time, then a dedicated IP address will be good.
