Unlimited bandwidth residential proxies
Unlimited bandwidth residential proxies charge a fixed price regardless of how much data you transfer — no per-GB fees, no overage charges, no expired traffic. TrueProxies offers unlimited bandwidth plans from $3.26/hour with 50M+ residential IPs across 150+ countries. Most competitors don't offer this option.
What are unlimited bandwidth proxies?
Unlimited bandwidth proxies use a fixed-price model instead of charging per gigabyte. You select a speed tier (measured in Mbps), pay a flat rate for your chosen duration, and transfer as much data as that speed allows — with no per-GB charges and no data caps.
This is fundamentally different from how most proxy providers price residential proxies. The industry standard is pay-per-GB: you buy a bandwidth allocation (e.g., 20GB for $100), and every request consumes data from your balance. When your allocation runs out, you pay more or your proxies stop working.
The per-GB model creates a predictable problem for heavy users: cost anxiety. Teams running continuous scraping, 24/7 monitoring, or high-volume data collection can't predict their monthly cost because they can't predict exactly how much bandwidth they'll consume. A single large crawl job that runs longer than expected can blow through a monthly budget in hours.
Unlimited bandwidth plans solve this completely. The monthly cost is fixed regardless of usage.
How TrueProxies' unlimited bandwidth plans work
TrueProxies' unlimited bandwidth residential proxies are priced by speed tier and duration. You choose how fast you need your connection and how long you need it.
Speed tiers range from 5 Mbps to 1,000 Mbps. A 5 Mbps connection handles lighter workloads like social media management or periodic monitoring. A 100 Mbps connection supports large-scale scraping operations running thousands of concurrent requests.
Duration options: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. Need proxies for a 4-hour scraping job? Pay the hourly rate. Running 24/7 monitoring? Choose monthly for the best value.
Entry point: $3.26/hour. That's the cheapest way to access unlimited residential proxy bandwidth on the market. No other major provider (Bright Data, Oxylabs, Smartproxy/Decodo) offers an equivalent unlimited bandwidth plan for residential IPs.
Everything else works identically to standard residential proxies — same 50M+ IP pool, same 150+ country coverage, same geo-targeting (country, city, ZIP, ASN), same HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocol support, same sticky and rotating session options.
Why most proxy providers don't offer unlimited bandwidth
The per-GB model is more profitable for proxy providers. When users pay per gigabyte, revenue scales directly with usage. Heavy users generate the most revenue — which is exactly backwards from a customer perspective.
Unlimited bandwidth plans require the provider to absorb variable usage costs at a fixed price. This only works if the provider has efficient infrastructure and is willing to accept lower margins per user in exchange for broader adoption.
Most enterprise providers like Bright Data ($5.04/GB), Oxylabs ($6/GB), and Smartproxy/Decodo ($2/GB) have no incentive to cannibalize their per-GB revenue with a flat-rate option. TrueProxies was built with both models from the start.
Who benefits most from unlimited bandwidth proxies
Continuous web scraping operations. If your scrapers run 24/7 collecting product data, pricing intelligence, or market research, per-GB billing creates unpredictable monthly costs. Unlimited bandwidth turns this into a fixed line item.
SEO monitoring at scale. Tracking thousands of keywords across multiple locations generates significant bandwidth. With unlimited plans, you can increase monitoring frequency without increasing cost.
Ad verification teams. 24/7 ad placement monitoring across hundreds of publishers and geolocations consumes substantial data. A fixed monthly cost eliminates the trade-off between monitoring coverage and budget.
Social media agencies. Managing dozens or hundreds of client accounts with daily posting, engagement, and monitoring. Per-GB pricing punishes the most active agencies — unlimited bandwidth rewards them.
Testing and development. When building scrapers or automation tools, you iterate frequently. Per-GB billing discourages experimentation. Unlimited bandwidth lets developers test freely without cost concerns.
Unlimited bandwidth vs per-GB — which should you choose?
| Factor | Unlimited bandwidth | Per-GB |
|---|---|---|
| Predictable cost | Fixed monthly price | Varies with usage |
| Best for light use | Overpays if low usage | Pay only for what you use |
| Best for heavy use | Cost doesn't scale with data | Gets expensive fast |
| Budget planning | Easy — fixed cost per month | Difficult — depends on workload |
| Starting price | $3.26/hour | $1.64/GB |
Choose unlimited bandwidth if you use more than 50–100GB per month, run continuous operations, or can't accurately predict your monthly bandwidth. Choose per-GB if you run occasional scraping jobs, need proxies for testing, or consistently use less than 50GB per month.
TrueProxies offers both on the same residential IP pool — same quality, same geo-targeting, same protocols. You can switch between models anytime. Start with a free trial.
Frequently asked questions
What does unlimited bandwidth mean for proxies?
It means your proxy plan has no data transfer cap. You pay a fixed price based on speed tier and duration, and transfer as much data as your connection allows. No per-GB charges or overage fees.
Is there really no bandwidth limit?
Correct. Your throughput is limited only by the speed tier you select (e.g., 10 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps). Within that speed, data transfer is unlimited for your plan duration.
How much data can I use on a 10 Mbps unlimited plan?
A 10 Mbps connection can theoretically transfer about 108 GB per day or 3.2 TB per month at sustained full speed. Actual throughput depends on target site response times and your scraper's concurrency.
Do any other providers offer unlimited bandwidth residential proxies?
Very few. Bright Data, Oxylabs, and Smartproxy (Decodo) all use per-GB pricing exclusively for residential proxies. TrueProxies is one of the few providers offering true unlimited bandwidth on residential IPs.
Can I use unlimited bandwidth proxies for web scraping?
Yes. The unlimited bandwidth plan uses the same 50M+ residential IP pool with the same geo-targeting, protocols, and session options. It's ideal for large-scale scraping where per-GB costs would be prohibitive.
