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 .

The most popular ASNs – according to

Proxyway research

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

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 .

While these platforms often rely on browser fingerprinting , having a good IP reputation helps keep the accounts safe .

Leveraging ASNs for Fighting Anti-Bot Systems

Popular websites use anti-bot systems to protect their platforms from automated programs . According to data , bad bots comprise over 30 % of Internet traffic , mainly targeting e-commerce websites . This hinders user efforts to collect publicly available data or access limited edition items before they sell out .

Anti-bot systems scan ASNs ( Autonomous System Numbers ) because they provide information about an IP address ’ s origin and ownership . By matching ASNs with ISPs ( Internet Service Providers ), these systems assess whether an IP address is legitimate .

For example , IPs associated with major ASNs like Comcast and AT & T are more likely to be trustworthy and less suspicious compared to IPs from less-known companies .
