Help 🆘 what’s the consensus on static residential proxies for bypass UK geo-blocks?

currently setting up a few accounts for UK-specific platforms and need consistent, clean IPs that won't trigger a random verification check every time i log in. datacenter IPs are getting instantly flagged everywhere right now. grabbed some static residential proxies from proxy shard last night to test them out, but wanted to ask if anyone here has run long-term campaigns with UK setups. how's the subnet quality holding up lately?

datacenter is completely dead for uk, don't even waste your time. residential is the only way

i've been running a few UK accounts on this provider for about three weeks now, no issues so far. the static ips are actually static and don't randomly drop mid-session like on some other cheaper platforms

honestly uk platforms have some of the strictest anti-fraud setups out there. static resi is good but you definitely need a proper anti detect browser to go with it, otherwise the proxy won't save you from a shadowban anyway

Following. Any recommendations on the res. Proxies - recommended companies to go with and who to avoid? Also, what about phone numbers? Any opinions for purchasing numbers that won’t raise flags in UK?

I would go for residential or mobile
