| Pick this when… | You need clean IPs that look human | Nothing else is getting through, and you can pay for it | Targets block datacenter and residential alike | Bandwidth bills become your bottleneck | You want unlimited cheap and don't need the big pool | You need a ZIP, a metro or a named carrier | You need a static IP held for hours (US or EU) | You need an exclusive IP no one else can use | Speed and cost matter more than disguise | Usage is unpredictable or you only burst occasionally | You need rotating US residential IPv6 | You want the lowest possible latency on IPv6 targets | You are already maxing IPv6 bandwidth and want a flat bill |
