Quick answer
What is a good Decodo alternative for ISP plus city targeting?
If you need an ISP and a city in the same request, Broadband Proxies is an alternative to Decodo: its username takes ASN, state, city and ZIP together, while Decodo's documentation says city and ASN 'can't be used simultaneously' (read 2026-10-18). Broadband Proxies costs $2.63 for 1 GB against Decodo's $4.00 pay-as-you-go GB; no KYC, crypto only.

Why does ASN plus city matter?
ASN targeting alone answers 'what does a Comcast customer see somewhere in the US'. Many checks need a place too: an ISP's offer differs by market, an ad campaign targets one ISP's subscribers in one metro, a bug report comes from one provider in one city. Decodo's help center says you must choose between city and ASN, and that ASN cannot be combined with state, country, ZIP or continent either.
With Broadband Proxies, USERNAME-country-us-state-ga-city-atlanta-asn-7018 asks for an AT&T home in Atlanta. Every filter shrinks the pool, so City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online.
Where is Decodo the better choice?
Decodo is a large provider with worldwide country, city and ZIP targeting, ISP proxies sold per IP, scraping APIs and a free trial of 100 MB for three days. If you need those products, or a monthly subscription paid by card, it is a reasonable choice. If you need ISP plus city on US residential IPs without uploading ID, Broadband Proxies fits better.
How do I switch from Decodo?
Change the host and the username format. Decodo uses its own parameter names; Broadband Proxies puts everything in one username: USERNAME-country-{cc}-state-{state}-city-{city}-zip-{zip}-asn-{asn}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}. Connect to gw.broadbandproxies.com on port 7777 (HTTP, HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). Test with the 1 GB plan, then check the exit IP's ASN with our guide.
