How do High-Bandwidth Proxies differ from regular proxies?

Comparison and benefits of high-bandwidth proxies for large-scale scraping.

Oxylabs’ High-Bandwidth Proxies offer faster speeds and greater data capacity than regular proxies. This makes them a perfect choice for large-scale web scraping tasks, such as downloading massive volumes of video or audio data for AI model training.

For a detailed comparison, here’s a small table highlighting the main features of high-bandwidth and regular proxies:

Feature	High-Bandwidth Proxies	Regular proxies
Bandwidth capacity	200+ Gbps dedicated bandwidth	Standard shared bandwidth (1-10 Gbps typical)
Connection stability	Persistent connections during full download duration	You can expect disconnections and data loss with some other proxy types
IP pool management	Automatic error detection and IP rotation	Manual error handling, none or basic IP rotation
Proxy setup	Fine-tuned for specific video platforms for maximum success	No specific setup - just a basic proxy
Scalability	Elastic infrastructure designed for massive video data downloads	Not optimized for large-scale video downloads, additional time required for scaling
Cost efficiency	Competitive pricing for high-traffic volumes	Potentially higher costs due to inefficiencies and failed requests
