Hi there, I have been lurking around this forum for almost an year, a couple of weeks ago I decided to join, to eventually gain a VIP status to promote a service that I will launch in a couple of months time.
I am based in the UK, and I am planning on launching a 4G/5G mobile proxy service, I have a couple of friends of mine that work for famous phone carriers, so they can give me a decent discount on data only packages ( I can get a 50GB data package for like 5GB/mo )
I am a full stack dev, so setting up the proxies is the easy part.
The only problem that I am facing right now is the speed of the proxies, as I will be running the service from my apartment, the 4g speeds will be fairly slow (between 12-20 mpbs), I don't have a better location as of right now ( I will eventually get a van and park it under a 5g tower, but that's for later).
Would you guys be interested in the service, even though the speeds are fairly slow compared to other providers ? I am thinking of setting up a welcome offer of 30$/mo for 50GB of data, which will eventually become 45-65$/mo when I start getting customers.
All the proxies/sims will be fully dedicated to the user who purchases them, nothing will be shared between users.
I have a couple of other questions before posting this thread:
Do you guys have any suggestions for me/is there something that I need to be aware of before starting?
Why/why not would you decide to go/not go with me if I eventually start selling them?
How much traffic should I expect the first day after posting a normal marketplace thread? are 15 sim slots enough to start?
Is the speed enough for your use case? (I believe that the current speed is more than enough, unless you are scraping at scale with selenium/puppeteer )
Thank you guys, take care
