[ankybone]

Will using a VPN service hide activity (such as downloading torrents) from an ISP?

Yes

no, nothing will. it will make it harder for them to see what your doing, but if they want to they could still see your activity

yes it will hide ur activity

 

ISPs do not see or care what ur doing

the only time they send warning is when copy right holders send complaints

 

since u will be using a VPN  copyright holders will be sending complaints to another country but depending on what country those complaints wont mean crap

Using a VPN will completely hide your activity from your ISP. Most VPN's are non-logging and use military grade encryption. So its essentially impossible for a ISP to know what you're doing when connected to a VPN. This is exactly why Comcast is banning the use of Tor on their network.

Yes, it will.  But I'm pretty sure it also depends on the VPN privacy policy and terms and conditions.  

 

If they say your data will be hidden and not looked at or stored, then I'd say yes
