Austin residential proxies by ISP: Spectrum and AT&T

Which internet providers serve Austin homes?

The FCC National Broadband Map lists 7 wired or fixed wireless providers among the ten widest in Austin (satellite left out). Spectrum reports service to 92.9% of the city's 551,183 residential units, AT&T to 74.6% and Google Fiber to 42.7%. Verizon 5G Home (70.5%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (67.2%) are mostly 5G fixed wireless home internet, whose IPs share the carrier's mobile network.

How much of Austin has fiber, cable and gigabit service?

Fiber reaches 68.2% of Austin's residential units, 19th of the 45 cities we track and above the 62.2% median. Cable covers 91.6%, less than in most of our cities. Copper DSL remains at 42.9%. Gigabit service (1,000/100 Mbps) is available to 84% of units. Access type matters for testing: fiber and cable homes usually get their own public IPv4 address, while fixed wireless users often share one.

How do I target an Austin ISP in my proxy username?

Start from the city: USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-austin asks for any home IP in Austin. Then add the ASN of the provider you need:

• USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-austin-asn-11427: Spectrum in Austin.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-austin-asn-7018: AT&T in Austin.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-austin-asn-16591: Google Fiber in Austin.
• USERNAME-country-us-zip-78701-asn-11427: Spectrum in ZIP 78701 (Downtown Austin).
• USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-austin-asn-7018-session-austin1-ttl-20: one AT&T IP kept for up to 20 minutes.

Use gw.broadbandproxies.com, port 7777 for HTTP and HTTPS or 7778 for SOCKS5. If a request finds no IP online, drop the ZIP first, then the city, and keep the ASN.

Which TX rules matter for checks from Austin?

Texas has a comprehensive privacy law, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (in force since July 1, 2024). It governs how businesses treat residents' data; it is not a rule about proxies, and it does not make a check from an Austin IP lawful or unlawful. Prices shown to Austin shoppers may add sales tax at checkout: the combined state and local rate is 8.25%, so compare pre-tax prices when you check retail pages from an Austin IP. Austin is on Central Time: schedule checks of time-limited offers and local ads in that zone. Whatever the city, our acceptable use policy applies; blocked targets: Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587.
