Unlimited IPv4 Plan Guide

How to Choose +Mbps Speed on the Unlimited Plan

On the Unlimited IPv4 Residential plan you never pay per GB — bandwidth is unlimited. Instead you choose a speed (Mbps) tier. This guide shows exactly how to pick the right Mbps at checkout, what each tier costs, and how to upgrade speed later from your dashboard.

Available speed tiers

Speed is chosen from a fixed set of tiers. The default selection is 5 Mbps, and 30 Mbps is marked as the most popular choice. The top tier, 1000 Mbps, is shown as 1 Gbps.

5 Mbps 10 Mbps 15 Mbps 30 Mbps (Most) 40 Mbps 50 Mbps 60 Mbps 70 Mbps 80 Mbps 90 Mbps 100 Mbps 200 Mbps 300 Mbps 400 Mbps 500 Mbps 600 Mbps 700 Mbps 800 Mbps 900 Mbps 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps)

How much data can each speed pull?

Speed (Mbps) sets how fast you can move data — and because bandwidth is unlimited, you are never charged for any of it. Use this table to match a tier to your workload: find the row whose per-hour figure comfortably covers your busiest hour, and that is the speed to pick. Values are approximate real-world maximums (1 Mbps ≈ 0.125 MB/s); actual throughput varies with the target site, routing, and how many threads you run at once.

SpeedPer secondPer minutePer hour (approx)
5 Mbps~0.6 MB~37 MB~2.2 GB
10 Mbps~1.25 MB~75 MB~4.5 GB
15 Mbps~1.9 MB~112 MB~6.7 GB
30 Mbps (Most)~3.75 MB~225 MB~13.5 GB
40 Mbps~5 MB~300 MB~18 GB
50 Mbps~6.25 MB~375 MB~22.5 GB
60 Mbps~7.5 MB~450 MB~27 GB
70 Mbps~8.75 MB~525 MB~31.5 GB
80 Mbps~10 MB~600 MB~36 GB
90 Mbps~11.25 MB~675 MB~40.5 GB
100 Mbps~12.5 MB~750 MB~45 GB
200 Mbps~25 MB~1.5 GB~90 GB
300 Mbps~37.5 MB~2.25 GB~135 GB
400 Mbps~50 MB~3 GB~180 GB
500 Mbps~62.5 MB~3.75 GB~225 GB
600 Mbps~75 MB~4.5 GB~270 GB
700 Mbps~87.5 MB~5.25 GB~315 GB
800 Mbps~100 MB~6 GB~360 GB
900 Mbps~112.5 MB~6.75 GB~405 GB
1 Gbps (1000 Mbps)~125 MB~7.5 GB~450 GB

Rule of thumb: pick the speed that comfortably covers your busiest hour, not your daily total (bandwidth is unlimited anyway). If your jobs feel slow or you run many threads at once, move up a tier. Since upgrades are instant and prorated, it is safe to start lower and step up only when you actually need more.

Choose your speed when you buy

You pick the Mbps tier during purchase. It only takes a moment:

  1. Open the Residential IPv4 Unlimited plan and start the buy flow (from Pricing or the plan page).
  2. Under Billing cycle, choose Hourly (Trial), Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Prices update per cycle.
  3. In the speed grid, tap the Mbps tier you want. Each tile shows that speed and its price (the most popular tier is marked Most).
  4. The live summary then updates to show your selected speed, its price, and the Effective / Mbps ($ ÷ Mbps) so you can compare value across tiers.
  5. Confirm and continue to checkout / invoice, then pay to activate your plan at that speed.

Tip: watch the Effective / Mbps figure in the summary (price ÷ Mbps) — it drops sharply on higher tiers, so bigger tiers give more speed per dollar.

Upgrade speed later from your dashboard

Already active and need more speed? You can raise your Mbps at any time without buying a new plan:

  1. Open your Unlimited IPv4 Residential dashboard.
  2. Click Upgrade speed.
  3. In Choose new speed, pick a higher tier — only tiers above your current speed are shown, and the cost is prorated for the time left in your cycle.
  4. Click Continue to invoice, pay, and your new speed applies to the same subscription.

Your credentials, IP pool, and settings stay the same — only the throughput cap increases.

Real examples: what speed real customers pick

Sometimes the easiest way to choose is to see someone with the same goal. Here is what a typical setup looks like at each level — match yourself to the closest one.

  • Solo Instagram / social manager (10–15 accounts): runs a scheduler with a few sessions at a time. 10 Mbps is plenty and leaves headroom.
  • Freelance scraper / SEO researcher: one scraper with 10–20 threads pulling product or ranking data through the day. 15 Mbps is the comfortable everyday pick.
  • Small e-commerce / price-monitoring team: steady multi-threaded scraping across several sites at once. 30 Mbps keeps it smooth without overspending — this is the most re-ordered tier.
  • Sneaker / checkout automation: short bursts of many parallel requests at drop time. 50–100 Mbps handles the spike so tasks do not queue.
  • Data / growth team with many bots: continuous large-scale collection across dozens of jobs. 200 Mbps and up keeps every worker fed.
  • Agency or enterprise pipeline: heavy round-the-clock throughput for multiple clients. 500 Mbps – 1 Gbps gives the lowest effective cost per Mbps at that scale.

Notice the pattern: the number tracks how many things run in parallel, not how big the download is. Two people pulling 500 GB a month can need very different speeds if one runs 5 threads and the other runs 80.

How to tell if you picked the right speed

You do not have to get it perfect on day one. Watch these simple signals for a few days and adjust — upgrades are instant and prorated, so it costs you nothing to start smaller.

  • Signs your speed is right: requests complete quickly, threads are not waiting on each other, and jobs finish in the time you expect.
  • Signs you should upgrade (+Mbps): pages/responses feel sluggish, your tool reports queued or throttled connections, or you are about to add more threads, accounts, or bots.
  • Signs you are comfortably over-provisioned: everything is instant and you rarely push past a fraction of your threads — fine to keep for headroom, or take a smaller tier at renewal to save.

Remember: slow jobs on the Unlimited plan are almost always a speed (Mbps) question, never a data question — you can never run out of bandwidth here.

Speed vs data — why you buy Mbps, not GB

This trips up a lot of first-time buyers, so here it is plainly. Most proxy plans charge you for GB used (a data cap). The Unlimited IPv4 plan does the opposite:

  • Bandwidth (GB) is unlimited — download as much as you want, every tier, with no metering and no overage fees.
  • You pay for Mbps — the maximum speed your traffic can move at, which sets how much you can run at the same time.
  • So the only question is throughput — pick the Mbps that keeps your busiest moment smooth, and stop worrying about GB entirely.

Think of Mbps like the width of a pipe: a wider pipe moves more at once. On this plan the water (data) is free and endless — you are only choosing how wide the pipe needs to be for your work.

Frequently asked questions

Tap a question to expand — quick answers about Unlimited plan speed and Mbps.

Is this the cheapest / low-budget unlimited proxy?

Yes. The Unlimited IPv4 Residential plan is our cheapest, lowest-budget true-unlimited proxy. It starts at the smallest 5 Mbps tier on a dedicated server, so you can begin cheap and scale speed only when you need it — you never pay per GB.

Does unlimited really mean unlimited, and is there any downtime?

Unlimited means unlimited — there is no data cap and no hidden metering on any tier. The plan runs on a dedicated server with zero downtime, so your bandwidth stays available while only the Mbps speed sets your throughput.

Is data really unlimited on every speed tier?

Yes. On the Unlimited IPv4 plan, bandwidth (GB) is unlimited on all tiers. The Mbps tier only sets your maximum throughput speed, not a data cap.

Where do I choose the Mbps when buying?

On the Residential IPv4 Unlimited buy page, first pick a billing cycle (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), then tap a tier in the speed grid. Each tile shows its price and the effective cost per Mbps before you continue to checkout.

How do I get more speed after I have already bought?

Open your Unlimited IPv4 Residential dashboard, click Upgrade speed, choose a higher tier under Choose new speed, then Continue to invoice and pay. The upgrade is prorated and keeps your existing credentials and subscription.

Can I downgrade to a lower Mbps tier?

The in-dashboard upgrade only lists tiers higher than your current speed, since it is a prorated speed increase. To move to a lower tier, change it at renewal or contact support for help.

What does "1 Gbps" mean in the tier list?

1 Gbps is the top speed tier and equals 1000 Mbps. It offers the lowest effective cost per Mbps for high-throughput workloads.

Will upgrading speed interrupt my running proxies?

No. The upgrade applies to the same subscription after you pay the prorated invoice. Your proxy credentials, IP pool, and settings remain unchanged — only the throughput cap increases.

Which speed do most customers buy?

10 Mbps, 15 Mbps and 30 Mbps are our best-selling and most repeat-ordered tiers. They stay busy because they hit the sweet spot of price vs real performance — enough throughput for scraping, multi-account, checkout, social and SEO tools without overpaying. If unsure, start at 10–15 Mbps (or 30 Mbps for heavier work) and upgrade anytime.

Which Mbps tier is right for me?

Base it on concurrency: 5–15 Mbps for light single-thread work, 30–50 Mbps for steady scraping, 100 Mbps+ for heavy multi-threaded jobs, and 200 Mbps to 1 Gbps for large teams. Start lower and upgrade anytime — it is instant and prorated.
