Hey! in UK we have around 140K residential IPs and yes, you can choose country or city lever targeting. Regarding BHW offer - check your inbox!
 
Also I am not a first time user of this service, so I will give my short honest feedback
The proxies are pretty fast and are truly residential. I have not got a single proxy that was from datacenters.
They have in-depth and helpful guide and a pretty decent dashboard that gives a quick view of your usage stats.

Apart from that, I did also experienced some difficulties with the proxy as well. They didn't seem to "connect" sometimes and reported a protocol error when I tried connect to any site. But this was actually quite rare and fixed itself after a while or I could have just changed ports depending on my need.

Lastly you get what you pay for. I tracked my data usage and it did match what the dashboard reported (roughly, with an inaccuracy of about 30 - 40 MBs which is understandable.) So they aren't stealing or inflating the data usage as well, which would've have been really comforting to know when I first wanted to try them!

If you are having doubts, try their starter package with the 3-day money back guarantee. I honestly liked their service and would vouch for it anytime.
Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I've reviewed this product, i had 1 day trial and these are my findings.

Settings: Rotating Session
Proxy Location: GB

Before testing i was told they had over 22,000 UK Proxies but they are adding more.

I tested their service by creating my own PHP script which logs every visit to a speficic page and gets the IP information as well as other information, here are the results:

Visits Recorded: 57,042
How many UK including Duplicate IPs: 56,804
How many UK Unique IPs: 3930
How many from Non-UK IPs: 239

So from out of 57,042 requests only 6.88% of them was unique UK IPs. They say they have over 20,000 UK Proxies but from my findings they only have 3,930.

I also question how they are getting these proxies, if i was to have a guess they have Bot Nets (or something of the kind) on vicitims PCs based in the selected country which allows people to send traffic through them, why do i think this you ask. Well there was MANY connection issues where you'd be taken to pages such as BT where it would say:

DOMAIN has been blocked by BT Parental Controls because the account holder has Custom filters on.


Look out! Your Virgin Media Child Safe settings have blocked this site

We think this site may contain material that's unsuitable for children, so it's been blocked by your account's Web Safe settings.

The Child Safe feature is currently set to 'ON'.

You can easily change your Web Safe settings at any time, just sign in or register for My Virgin Media.

There was also issues with Sky Broadband issues which would try and redirect you to the Modem IP for a Self Heal. There was also IPs coming from Hotel Wifi Networks, for example the ibis hotel in Carlisle.

Theres also alot of IPs that are not Residential, for example i have no idea how but they even use IPs from the HSBC Bank.

You can download my IP logs here for you to take a look at for yourself: ufile.io/uny93

I'm not sure what else to say, the positives are the proxies are quick but I'm just worried about how they are getting the proxies and also the false information on how many GEO IPs they actually have.

SmartProxies feel free to invite me back for another trial once you have fixed things and ill do another test :)

EDIT:

Some more stats for you, IPs based off UKs Top Known ISPs:

Virgin Media (excluding Business): 619 Proxies
BT: 443 Proxies
Sky Broadband: 482
EE: 36
Three Mobile: 49
PlusNet: 66
TalkTalk: 340
Vodafone: 17
