Honeygain is a platform where people sell their residential internet connection and bandwidth to these companies for money. For comparison Honeygain pays someone 10 cents per GB, and Oxylabs sells it for $8/GB.

That takes buying low and selling high to a whole new level

We need a better market. I'd sell for $7/GB.
