Net flows. A residential proxy should have a residential amount of traffic coming from it. If one IP has 1000x the usual traffic one household could reasonably account for, then mark it as a residential proxy. It won't be 100% accurate, but it's sufficiently accurate for reddit to go on a blocking spree.

How does one even get access to that kind of information? Are ISPs just selling this stuff or what?

We have 700 servers around the world and we run measurements over all of the usable internet space, including assigned IPv6 addresses.

I highly recommend reading some of our blog posts and community posts.
