Datacenter IPs share known hosting-provider ASNs that anti-bot systems flag instantly. Residential IPs come from real home-broadband ISPs, so requests blend in with normal user traffic. Roam offers both — residential at $2/GB for tough targets, datacenter at $0.80/GB for throughput-heavy jobs where IP quality matters less.
