The proxies are designed to work most efficiently if customers do not specify a particular proxy but leave them to get on with their work. If too many customers, particularly top tier customers, specify the same proxy then it can cause congestion using that proxy.

The speed achievable through a proxy depends on whether that proxy has had to obtain the data from source or already has it cached by another customer having recently asked for the same data.
