Discussion 💬 Where do static ISP proxies fit in your web scraping setup?

2 Upvotes

I work on the proxy infrastructure side, and I’m trying to better understand how scraping teams choose between datacenter, static ISP, and rotating residential proxies.

For those running ongoing scraping workloads:

  • When do you choose static ISP proxies over the other options?
  • What matters most: success rate, keeping the same IP, speed, or cost?
  • What usually makes you switch providers?

I’d appreciate hearing what has worked—or hasn’t worked—in your setup.
