英国住宅代理实测：伦敦/曼彻斯特节点报告

伦敦代理节点实测：晚高峰能打吗？

上周三晚上8点掐着表测了ipipgo伦敦住宅代理，这个时段相当于国内凌晨3点，但英国刚好是下班刷剧高峰期。用SpeedTest连续测了5次，平均在187ms-223msIt fluctuates between, the most outrageous being a sudden spike to 300ms once, though it recovered within 10 seconds.

Here's a pitfall to be warned about: when testing, don't pick the"Automatic server selection"！手动指定本地运营商服务器才能测准。比如用EE网络就选EE的测速点，沃达丰同理。我犯懒用自动匹配时，出现过数据比实际值虚低40ms的情况。

曼彻斯特节点玄学事件：天气影响？

测曼城节点时遇到个怪事：下雨天普遍增加15%左右。2月28号曼城大雨，ipipgo的住宅代理从平常的155ms左右涨到178ms，丢包率也从0.5%升到1.2%。咨询他们技术才知道，英国老房子宽带线路很多走明线，雨天确实可能影响物理连接。

Here's a lesson for you.cold technique：在ipipgo客户端把”重试间隔”从默认2秒改成1.5秒，遇到突发高时切换线路更快。实测在曼城节点用这个方法，网页加载卡顿概率能减少三分之一。

Tale of Two Cities comparison: choose London or Manchester?

From the 20 sets of test data, it appears that the London node is suitable forshort connection service(e.g. API calls), the City node is better suited forlong connectivity scenario(e.g. video streaming). As an example: uploading a 10MB file with a London proxy is 3 seconds faster than City, but City is less likely to buffer when playing a 720p video.

One counter-intuitive finding: although London is physically further away from the country, it's rather faster than Manchester at certain times of the day due to more operator peer points. It's advisable to have both regional agents hooked up in the ipipgo backend, using their homeIntelligent RoutingThe function switches automatically.

Why we recommend ipipgo, these details are not available elsewhere.

1. ExclusiveMunicipal IP library: Their City proxies can be pinpointed down to the borough location, and IPs in boroughs like Trafford and Salford just don't work the same way!
2. Dynamic heartbeat mechanism: Automatically detects carrier signal strength every 5 minutes, much more reliable than the fixed reconnection strategy
3. No play"Fake homes"Set: some agents will use the IP of the server room to disguise the residential, ipipgo each IP can check the home broadband registration records

There was also an egg discovered during last week's testing: in the ipipgo client, enterweatherBeing able to look directly at the real-time weather in the current node city is helpful in predicting network quality.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What should I do if my UK agent is using the card at night?
A: In the ipipgo account settings, change the "network type" from automatic toLeased LineIt's a little more expensive, but bandwidth is guaranteed for the evening rush hour.

Q: Will using both London and Manchester City IPs conflict?
A: Remember to turn on the router atdual-channel modeThe official website of ipipgo has a detailed tutorial, and the speed can be stacked if you use it well.

Q：测试时很低但实际使用慢？
A: 80% is DNS pollution, check it in the advanced settingsForced ECS AnalysisThat's it. It's hidden in the secondary menu of the ipipgo client.

Finally, a big truth: the quality of the UK agent varies, the key has to look at the provider has no local resources. ipipgo has its own base station in Manchester this thing, peers basically can not do.
