Provider / Service: NovixLink - US Dual-ISP Native Residential IPv4 VPS
At the time of purchase, the product description on the checkout page was explicitly listed as:

Buying residential IPs violates the ToS of the original line owner and should not be supported here.
Now hypocrisi aside id help you but i have zero idea of that field

I don't think violating a ToS is against the rules here. Unless it's illegal or considered blackhat, it's probably technically allowed.
Thanks for the comment and encouragement!
To clarify, my main intention with this thread is simply to share this factual data and discuss whether NovixLink's practice—advertising a service as "US Dual-ISP Native Residential IPv4" while delivering an IP classified as "DCH"—is considered acceptable or standard practice in the industry.
Appreciate the thoughts and just opening it up for community discussion!
Each database has different information,perhaps he's referring to databases that label it "ISP"
