Hide your real IP and enjoy the Internet: dual escort of ISP proxy and static residential proxy

Tina . 2023-12-22

Proxies are intermediary servers that route Internet traffic and are generally divided into two categories: data centers and residential ISPs. Let’s expand on the concept of (dual) ISP and the difference between ISP and dual ISP.


1: What is ISP

ISP (Internet Service Provider) is an Internet service provider that mainly provides instant messaging services based on the Internet and mobile Internet. Since instant messaging ISPs control user resources themselves, instant messaging ISPs can play a leading role in the instant messaging business value chain, which is very rare in business models that cooperate with operators.


2: What is dual ISP

Dual ISP refers to a user using two different ISPs for network connections at the same time. The advantage of this is that it can provide more stable and faster network services, because when one ISP has a problem, another ISP can continue to provide services. Some network devices, such as routers or switches, may also have dual ISP capabilities to achieve more reliable network connections and load balancing.


3.What is the difference between dual ISP and ISP?

  • Reliability of network connection: Dual ISP can improve the reliability of network connection, because when one ISP's network fails or becomes unstable, the other ISP can provide services as a backup network to ensure that the user's network continues to operate stably. A single ISP cannot provide such backup network support. Once a failure or instability occurs, the user's network connection may be affected.

  • Bandwidth and speed: Dual ISP can increase bandwidth and speed. By using two different ISPs at the same time, users can obtain greater bandwidth and faster speeds, especially when processing large amounts of data or performing complex network operations. A single ISP is limited by its own network resources and bandwidth limitations, and may not be able to meet users' high bandwidth and high speed needs.


To sum up, dual ISPs have advantages over a single ISP in terms of network connection reliability and bandwidth speed.
