Why are residential proxy providers charging per GB?

1 points by maxalbarello a month ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


I've been astonished to see how much residential proxy providers charge for their services (and how little they pay the actual people providing the proxies).

The thing that I cannot wrap my head around is why they are charging per GB when bandwidth (especially residential) is basically free. Internet traffic is basically free at the margin for a household (as long as it doesn't exceed a huge amount) so why charge per GB?
