I would stop rotating on logged-in accounts first. One account, one sticky IP, one stable fingerprint usually matters more than mobile vs residential. If budget is tight, I would run fewer cleaner accounts instead of 50 noisy ones.

If I had 30 profiles and a tight budget, I would not force 30 unique premium IPs. I would rather cut the active profiles down, use a smaller set of better sticky IPs, and only give unique IPs to the profiles that actually matter.

I stopped looking for magic clean IPs. I ask for a small test batch, run the exact target for 2-3 days, and judge the provider on how fast that first batch burns.

For browser account work, I usually care less about HTTP vs SOCKS and more about whether the session stays stable. If the site expects long logged-in behavior, I would pick the protocol my tool handles cleanly and focus harder on IP quality plus not rotating mid-session.

I would stop changing too many variables at once. For ecommerce, I would lock one profile to one sticky ISP or residential IP, keep the same browser fingerprint on it, and only test one marketplace at a time. A lot of random bans come from the identity stack changing together, not just from the...

I care more about stable upload than flashy download numbers. For most proxy work, if upload stays consistent and latency does not spike under load, I am happy even when the headline Mbps is lower.

Also, a domain name instead of a raw IP is not a red flag by itself. A lot of sellers front the same host with DNS. I would care more about whether the tunnel stays stable and only the port you want is going through it.

I also use them for geo QA and ad verification, not just accounts. Sometimes I just need to see the same page the way a local user sees it without a datacenter IP ruining the test.

I would also check timezone and IPv6 together. A lot of people fix WebRTC and DNS, then forget the browser still tells a different location story somewhere else.

Roaming eSIM can help with the country side, but it still does not give you a real rotating pool. You are still riding one carrier pattern until you add more lines or real reconnect control.

If you still split the cost, I would keep one owner and one set of credentials. Shared login details usually become the bigger problem before the proxy itself does.

If cost matters, I would start with one sticky ISP or residential IP per account before paying for mobile. Mobile makes more sense once normal ISP or residential is already burning too fast.

If you need real long-term non-VOIP numbers with calls and replies, I would treat it like SIM inventory, not proxy inventory. The hard part is not OTP, it is keeping the same number believable months later.

I like this setup for one or two streams, but I would not confuse one phone with a real pool. It is great for cheap testing, not great for scale or for pretending you have wide residential diversity.

If it is just basic Telegram use, I would start with sticky residential or ISP before jumping to mobile. Cheap datacenter can work for throwaway tasks, but for long-lived accounts I would rather keep one clean IP per session.

The IP comes from the carrier, not the box location, but the bigger catch is reconnect control. One eSIM gives you one carrier pattern, not a real rotating pool.

I also think page size matters more than people admit. One target can burn 50x the traffic of another, so per-request pricing looks clean on paper but gets messy fast.

I would avoid no-auth SOCKS5 unless the seller can lock it to your IP. Open no-auth endpoints get abused fast, and then the easy to use part becomes the problem.

I usually treat ISP as the stay logged in proxy, not the hit everything proxy. For long account sessions it is great. For broad scraping or lots of geo switching I still prefer residential because the pool is wider.

If I only needed one port proxied, I would stop chasing SSH proxies and just use a normal SOCKS5 plus Proxifier or ProxyCap. Bitvise is fine, but most sellers are really giving you HTTP or SOCKS, not true SSH access.
