I'm tempted to put this in the shit list but that doesn't seem fair as they are not some kind of scam but I feel the responsibility to at least review their service so far.
I'm always looking for a provider that can deliver A LOT of varied geo-location data centers nationwide (USA). I've used anonymous-proxies.net for a while and they are always reliable but I was looking for a bigger pool of proxy locations so I tried iprental.
Not wanting to pay a full month of $150 I decided to sign up for a "day pass" for $25. Numerous attempts to create a login failed, saying my username was already in use or unacceptable. WTF?
I emailed their support and waited for DAYS to get a reply. They said, "Are you using an email address as a user name?" I replied I was not and asked if I should be as there is no mention of that in the sign up.
More DAAAAYS went by and their reply was, "yes you need to use an email address"
So yesterday I signed up, downloaded their desktop app which is easy to use and it was then that I see that once I disconnect from a proxy, I have to wait 2 minutes before reconnecting to another. This is only for non-premium members and again, no mention of this that I saw on the website. So I was pissed about that.
Since I've been using it since yesterday afternoon, I've had 3 proxies that worked, many that never connected and the 3 that did connect are slow beyond being usable.
Oh and maybe it's my issue but for the life of me I cannot get it to work with FF so I'm stuck using Chrome.
As far as I'm concerned, for the price they charge there is no way I'd use them long term.
