## Fiber, cable or DSL: what connects Boston homes?

Fiber reaches 70.2% of Boston's residential units, 14th of the 45 cities we track and above the 62.2% median. Cable is almost everywhere (99.5%), so a cable IP is the most common home connection type. Copper DSL is practically gone (0%). Fiber reported at 1,000/100 Mbps or more reaches only 18%: most fiber here is filed at lower speed tiers. Access type matters for testing: fiber and cable homes usually get their own public IPv4 address, while fixed wireless users often share one.

*FCC National Broadband Map, December 31, 2025 data; any provider, residential units*

| Access type in Boston | Residential units covered | Rank among the 45 cities |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fiber to the home | 70.2% | 14th |
| Cable (DOCSIS) | 99.5% | 1st |
| Copper DSL | 0% | 41st |
| Fixed wireless (licensed and unlicensed) | 97.6% | 14th |
| Any terrestrial service at 100/20 Mbps or more | 100% | 1st |
| Any terrestrial service at 1,000/100 Mbps or more | 76.2% | 28th |
| Fiber at 1,000/100 Mbps or more | 18% | 38th |

## How do I target a Boston ISP in my proxy username?

Start from the city: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-boston` asks for any home IP in Boston. Then add the ASN of the provider you need:

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-boston-asn-7922`: Comcast in Boston.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-boston-asn-701`: Verizon in Boston.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-boston-asn-7018`: AT&T in Boston.
- `USERNAME-country-us-zip-02116-asn-7922`: Comcast in ZIP 02116 (Back Bay).
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-boston-asn-701-session-boston1-ttl-20`: one Verizon 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.

## Boston: Comcast, Fios and Starry's home market

Comcast reports service to 99.7% of Boston's residential units, Verizon to 91.7% and Astound's RCN network to 44.0%. Starry, the building-based wireless provider now owned by Verizon, shows 36.2%, its highest share in our list. Fiber reaches 70.2% of units, but fiber reported at 1,000/100 Mbps or more only 18.0%.

Local program: Wicked Free Wi-Fi: City of Boston-owned free outdoor public Wi-Fi network (DoIT).

## Which MA rules matter for checks from Boston?

Massachusetts had no comprehensive consumer privacy law as of October 2026. Prices shown to Boston shoppers may add sales tax at checkout: the combined state and local rate is 6.25%, so compare pre-tax prices when you check retail pages from a Boston IP. Boston is on Eastern Time: schedule checks of time-limited offers and local ads in that zone. Whatever the city, our [acceptable use policy](https://broadbandproxies.com/acceptable-use/) applies; blocked targets: Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587.

### Is Boston a fiber city?

Largely, yes. The FCC map shows fiber available to 70.2% of Boston's residential units (December 31, 2025), 14th of our 45 cities, against 99.5% for cable. Only 18% is reported at 1,000/100 Mbps or more.

### Can I target a Boston ZIP code?

Yes. ZIP targeting works in the United States on every plan: `USERNAME-country-us-zip-02116` asks for Back Bay, and `zip-02130` for Jamaica Plain. You can add an ASN, but a ZIP-plus-ISP request matches fewer homes, so test it before scaling.
