about 80% of their dedicated ISP's have been used by sketchy people doing fraudulent things and they will all be perma blocked by most services then when you ask to get them replaced they will do it once as a courtesy then lock you out of ever requesting support with them again every live chat that gets transferred to an agent auto ends the chat, then email support will all ignore your emails. what a shady way to do business i will tell all my discord groups that use proxies to stay far away from this service
Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience! I am absolutely ignorant to setting up a proxy, but Jarvis was able to assist me patiently. I appreciate all the help and patience.
Honest support, but terrible Self-Service ISP Proxies
I bought the Dedicated ISP Proxies expecting high-quality, clean IPs, but I was extremely disappointed. First, some of the IPs assigned to me were already blacklisted (listed on Spamhaus ZEN). Second, all the IPs provided were from the exact same subnet range, which completely defeats the purpose of buying multiple proxies for any serious work.
When I contacted support to get them replaced with clean IPs from different subnets, they assigned me the exact same subnet again. The support agent eventually admitted that they "do not have many IPs available for replacement" on this plan.
The only positive thing I can say is that the support agent (Jarvis) was honest in the end and promptly processed a full refund. If you need clean IPs and diverse subnets, avoid their self-service plan. It's a waste of time.

Examples
Oxylabs Datacenter
Oxylabs offers Shared and Dedicated Datacenter Proxies to increase the effectiveness of your public data collection with no limitations for scaling.
Ideal Use Cases

Poor Use Cases
- E-commerce & price monitoring: retail sites often use aggressive anti-bot against datacenter IPs
- Social media data: platforms with aggressive bot detection usually block DC ranges
