ISP proxies explained
What an ISP proxy is, what a lease costs from US$0.50 a day, where the break-even against pay per GB sits and which limits apply.
Which ISP to Pick for a Static IP: When It Matters
Country first, city second, ASN type third; the carrier name only when you have a concrete reason.
What the ISP means in a static IP listing
In ISP-proxy listings the ISP is the internet provider the address is registered to, the organization behind its network number (ASN), for example a home-broadband operator such as Comcast or AT&T in the US. The trade also calls these static residential addresses.
So the ISP name tells you whose network the address belongs to. It does not by itself tell you the country is right, the city is right, or that a site will treat it a particular way. Those need separate checks.
When the ISP choice matters and when it does not
| Item | Does the carrier name matter? | What to match instead |
|---|---|---|
| Account tied to one country | Rarely | The country (and region) of the account, the same address every time |
| Price, search and page checks for a country | No | Country or city that you are checking; stable location result |
| Sites that read your city from the IP | Only as far as it moves the city | The city or region in the IP location databases; compare two lookups |
| Testing a service tied to one provider's own network | Yes | That provider; confirm availability before paying |
| Any use where a hosting label is a problem | The network type matters more than the name | An ASN typed isp, not hosting |
Our reading of the IPinfo documentation, 13 November 2026: it states no rule that a particular carrier is required for a particular platform, so the right-hand column is a checking method, not a platform rule.
How to choose, in this order
Step 1: Country
Use the country of the account or of the audience you are testing. Per-IP prices are the same in every country, so country is a matter of fit, not cost.
Step 2: Region or city, if it matters
Only if your task depends on it. For US state and city choices see the guide linked below. Each purchase is for one region and one term.
Step 3: Network type
After delivery, look the address up and confirm the organization is an internet provider and the type reads isp. A hosting label is a signal to look closer, not proof of a problem.
Step 4: Carrier name
Choose it only for a concrete reason. If a certain provider is a hard requirement, ask Support whether it is available before you buy, because the order page lists countries, and stock changes daily.
Check what you actually received
Open https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy and read the org field: it shows the ASN and the organization name. IPinfo says the ASN type is inferred by a statistical model that returns the highest-scoring type, that types are not mutually exclusive, and that one organization can hold several ASNs of different types.
That is why two lookup tools may give the same address different labels. Read the organization name first, the type second, and compare at least two tools before you decide the address is wrong.
Order on Proxy302
Step 1
Open the static ISP product and choose country, term (1, 3, 7, 30, 60 or 90 days) and protocol. Availability is shown on the order page; stock changes daily.
Step 2
Open My assets and copy host, port, username and password. HTTP uses port 2222 and SOCKS5 port 3333 on proxy.proxy302.com.
Step 3
Check ipinfo.io/json through the proxy: country, then org.
Expected result The country matches your order and org is an internet provider.
Choosing an ISP: common questions
Does the ISP name affect whether a site accepts the IP?
We have no source that gives such a rule. What you can check is the country, the city and whether the network is typed as an ISP or as hosting.
Can I order a specific ISP on Proxy302?
The per-IP order page asks for country, term and protocol. If a specific provider is a hard requirement, ask Support before buying.
Is the price different by ISP or country?
No. Per-IP prices are the same in every country: US$0.50 for 1 day and US$7.99 for 30 days.
The lookup says hosting. Did I get the wrong ISP?
Not necessarily. Databases classify networks by their own rules, and an organization can run ISP and hosting networks under one name. Compare two tools, then see the linked guide.
