I burned a chunk of money testing a few providers for a side project that outgrew datacenter IPs,

and now I'm way less impressed by the cheap "unlimited" stuff than I was a month ago.

What I care about now is pretty simple:

actual success rate on tougher targets,

stable sticky sessions when needed,

decent city targeting, and

not finding out the fine print means you can only run a handful of threads before everything falls apart.

Curious what people here are actually using in 2026.

Not looking for marketing pages.

More interested in what held up in real use, what broke, and whether paying more ended up being cheaper once retries were counted.
