What is Bandwidth (Per-GB Billing)?
The volume of data transferred, the basis for residential proxy pricing.
Bandwidth is the total volume of data transferred through a proxy, measured in gigabytes. Residential proxy providers typically bill per gigabyte because the underlying network cost scales with data moved rather than time connected. Aethyn meters every byte and surfaces usage live in the dashboard, with tiered subscription rates and a pay-as-you-go option, so engineering and finance can track spend as jobs run.
