Residential proxies are IP addresses assigned to real residential devices by internet service providers.
They are commonly used when users want IPs that look more like regular user traffic.
Use cases listed in this knowledge base include:

data mining
ad verification
geo-restricted access
ISP proxies are provided by an internet service provider and are often used for browsing and other proxy-based internet activity.
