✓ = included, ✗ = not offered or not listed. "Check site" means we could not confirm it on the provider's own page. SOAX rates are geo tier 1. Sources are listed at the end of this page.

## How do providers perform in Proxyway's European tests?

Proxyway tested providers with 1.2 million connections across France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands over 14 days. These are Proxyway's figures, not ours:

- **Germany:** Decodo reached 99.86% success at 0.44 s. Oxylabs reported 3M+ German IPs and Bright Data 1.7M+.
- **France:** Oxylabs reported 5M+ French IPs, SOAX 3M+ and Bright Data 690K+.

Connection success is not the same as success on a hard target site. In AIMultiple's UK test, success on sites such as Amazon UK and Argos was only about 57–81%. Test any provider on your own European targets first.

PontProxy covers 50 European country pages, with city and ISP targeting included. These are the main fixed-line networks in the six largest markets, with their ASNs (ipinfo.io, 5 October 2026):

## How much do European residential proxies cost in 2026?

European residential proxies cost $1.00 to $8.00 per GB at list price among the large providers above, as of October 2026. Proxyway's 2026 averages are $4.16/GB at 5 GB, $3.00/GB at 50 GB and $2.28/GB at 500 GB.

PontProxy charges $0.75/GB at 5 GB — 25% below the lowest price we found among the main UK and EU proxy providers (DataImpulse, $1.00/GB, checked 2026-10-05). At 100 GB it charges $0.41/GB, against $0.55/GB (Residential Flex pack) at Databay.

Unlike DataImpulse, PontProxy adds no fee for city or ASN targeting. See [all prices](https://pontproxy.com/pricing/) and the [European proxy price index](https://pontproxy.com/data/european-proxy-price-index-2026/).

## Is ASN targeting becoming harder to get in Europe?

Yes, at some providers. Proxyway's 2026 market research says some vendors "have started requiring a KYC procedure to access ASN targeting", while others removed the feature. It does not name the vendors.

At PontProxy, ISP/ASN targeting needs no KYC and no larger plan. It helps with [SERP tracking](https://pontproxy.com/use-cases/serp-tracking/), [price monitoring](https://pontproxy.com/use-cases/price-monitoring/) and [ad verification](https://pontproxy.com/use-cases/ad-verification/), where results differ by network.
