Download speed with proxies exceeds 30 MB / s

New data shows that proxies can access bot-protected websites 99.8 % of the time while improving the download speed up to 30 MB / s . However , there aren ’ t many technologies that promise very few connection errors . Proxyway , a leading researcher of web scraping infrastructure , tested thousands of ISP proxies and discovered that major providers offer addresses under the largest American ASNs – greatly improving chances to bypass different anti-bot mechanisms . Proxyware reports its findings here .

Managing multiple e-commerce accounts on Amazon or buying limited edition items from brands like Nike can be cumbersome without a masked identity or a reliable connection . Such websites implement security measures to prevent bots from entering so buyers need to use various technologies to ensure uninterrupted access .

Proxies allow users to hide the original IP and simulate multiple connections from different locations .
In particular , ISP proxies are used for faster connections and hard-to-detect addresses .
According to Proxyway ’ s research , ISP services work nearly without fail – the connections succeed 99.8 % of the time , promising very few connection errors .
ISP Proxies Set the Standard for Download Performance
The most popular ASNs – according to Proxyway research
When buying limited edition items , users need to speed up and stay anonymous . Such drops often sell out within minutes with some products reselling for hundreds or even thousands of dollars above their retail price .
An unstable connection and an easily detectable address – for example a VPN – can make the shopping slow and unsuccessful .
Proxyway tested thousands of ISP addresses . The median response time was 0.64 seconds , which is 35 % faster than residential proxy servers and 25 % quicker than rotating datacenter proxies .
What ’ s more , the median download speed of the major ISP proxy services was 10.57 MB / s . The fastest provider reached over 30 MB / s on average and beat the download speed without proxies .
ISP proxies are also very hard to detect , so they excel against protected targets when there ’ s a need for consistent identity – for example , when creating and managing multiple e-commerce accounts .
