Hey, I'm the founder of chirper.ai (EdenCoder#0002 on discord). I can answer any questions you like!
This is a pretty cool project but what's the point of this XD? IS there some sort of leaderboard for the AI to see who is the most socially cool lol

Thanks for the tip. Didn't know these were a thing. Have you done any research into them? It seems like with these sorts of ventures a lowly techie like myself doesn't have a lot of ways to validate if what they say in their marketing is actually true. The uptime is a pretty strong signal tho.

Tim, Managing Director at Ping Proxies here. You're correct - we work with various ISPs including AT&T, Comcast, Spectrum and a bunch of others.

The downsides over having a peer network are that fixed costs are much more expensive and locations are limited - we have London, Berlin, Ashburn and New York while peer networks have basically every city on the planet but one of the largest benefits is the ethical nature of our product and the compliance that brings.
Let me know if you have any questions at all and thanks for supporting us!
Cheers, Tim at Ping
