   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Smartproxy, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

   My Review of Smartproxy Service

   Smartproxy, in my experience, is a solid choice for heavy-duty web scraping tasks. Been using it for bulk data mining. Their proxy pool's massive – good for avoiding blocks and captchas. Speed's decent, uptime mostly consistent. Setup? Straightforward. But yeah, pricing's a bit on the higher side, especially for large-scale operations. Overall, Smartproxy delivers, especially for those heavy scraping needs.

   👍 Pros:    Ip diversity|Quick data access|Minimal downtime|User-friendly interface:

   👎 Cons:    Pricey|Some geo-restrictions.|Ometimes slow response.
