# How do High-Bandwidth Proxies differ from regular proxies?

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                  |
