Columbus residential proxies by ISP: Spectrum and AT&T

Which internet providers serve Columbus homes?

Spectrum is the widest wired network in Columbus: it reports service to 96% of the 453,795 residential units the FCC counts in the city. AT&T follows at 91.9%, then Breezeline at 79.7%. In total the FCC's top-ten list for Columbus holds 7 non-satellite providers. T-Mobile Home Internet (87.8%) and Verizon 5G Home (71.6%) are mostly 5G fixed wireless home internet, whose IPs share the carrier's mobile network.

Fiber, cable or DSL: what connects Columbus homes?

Fiber reaches 35.5% of Columbus's residential units, 39th of the 45 cities we track and below the 62.2% median. Cable is almost everywhere (97.2%), so a cable IP is the most common home connection type. Copper DSL is still reported at 72.2% of units, 5th highest of our cities, so some telco IPs here sit on older lines. Gigabit service (1,000/100 Mbps) is available to 38.7% 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 a Columbus ISP in my proxy username?

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

• USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-columbus-asn-10796: Spectrum in Columbus.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-columbus-asn-7018: AT&T in Columbus.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-columbus-asn-11776: Breezeline in Columbus.
• USERNAME-country-us-zip-43215-asn-10796: Spectrum in ZIP 43215 (Brewery District).
• USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-columbus-asn-7018-session-columb1-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.
