If your workload is Amazon product pages at volume, plan for roughly one request in six to come back blocked on a rotating residential pool, and budget retries accordingly.

At 83.2% you need 1 ÷ 0.832 = 1.20 attempts per successful Amazon page, so your effective cost per success is 20% above your cost per request. Google at 88.8% costs you 12.6% on top. Instagram at 90.4% costs 10.6%. The generic HTTPS endpoint at 100% costs nothing extra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>That is the number to carry into a provider comparison. A pool that is 15% cheaper per gigabyte but blocks twice as often on your target is more expensive, and no amount of pool-size marketing changes the arithmetic.

Residential proxies route through real consumer connections, and end-to-end latency through a home line in Jakarta is not going to look like a datacenter round trip — the 3030 ms TikTok figure and the 587 ms Google figure in the same test are the same network on different targets. But a sub-500 ms band applied to residential traffic is a bar we do not clear, and pretending otherwise would defeat the point of publishing this at all. If your workload is latency-critical rather than detection-critical, static ISP proxies are the better product, and we would rather tell you that before you buy traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>The sample-size row is worth flagging too: 745 requests over twelve days is enough to see shape, not enough to settle small differences.

There is no control group here — no parallel run with the filter disabled — so the results show what the network does with the filter on, and nothing about what it would do without. ProxyVero's review correctly labels the filter as provider-stated. If anyone tells you a single-provider benchmark validates a specific internal mechanism, they are overreading it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>The same caution applies to geography.
