There are some providers that offer unlimited proxies but limit them to, for example, 10 threads.

Can someone explain to me in more detail what 10 threads roughly mean, or how I can measure how many threads I need?
When I look at my network activity in Chrome using the DevTools while opening a page, for example, I see around 100 threads being opened. But these are probably closed again, right?

Is it possible to estimate how many threads are needed to open a webpage and play a video, for instance?

Threads refers to the concurrent connection to the proxies.
 
Yes, but when I open a page, like Instagram. Then my browser creates several connections to Instagram, right?

How can I find out how many threads I need?
 
buy unlimited threads...

limited threads is useless
Yes, but unlimited rotating ISP or residential proxies cost several thousand euros per month, and that’s too much for me.

This depends on the site in use, in theory it's possible to do this on a single thread however if the site uses CDNs and other supporting servers then it will likely use at least a handful of threads to serve the webpage and video.

The only way to really verify this is to test it! I'd suggest finding a provider you like the look of and trial their proxies. They should be able to let you know any limitations regarding thread count and also roughly how many you'll be using.

You should be able to find a sercice that meets your needs on the Proxies for Sale section in the BHW Marketplace.

This means that you can establish as many proxy connections as you need, but each proxy can only handle a maximum of 10 simultaneous requests or tasks at any given time.

This limitation can impact your usage if you require more than 10 concurrent requests per proxy. For example, if you are using the proxy for web scraping and each scraping job requires multiple requests, you may need to use multiple proxies to achieve the desired throughput.

When choosing a proxy provider, it is important to consider both the unlimited proxy aspect and the thread limit. If you need a large number of concurrent requests per proxy, you may need to look for a provider that offers a higher thread limit or consider using multiple proxies.
 
Yes, I would if there was a rotating ISP or resitential proxy.

I have now found out that I can manage with 10-30 threads.
If someone knows such a service please contact me
