Which internet providers serve Houston homes?
Comcast is the widest wired network in Houston: it reports service to 97% of the 1,199,820 residential units the FCC counts in the city. AT&T follows at 74.6%, then Optimum at 2.2%. In total the FCC's top-ten list for Houston holds 7 non-satellite providers. Verizon 5G Home (64.2%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (62.4%) are mostly 5G fixed wireless home internet, whose IPs share the carrier's mobile network.
| Provider (FCC filing name) | Brand and ISP page | Residential units covered | ASN to target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comcast Corporation | Comcast Xfinity | 97% | asn-7922 |
| AT&T Inc. | AT&T (Fiber, Internet Air, DSL) | 74.6% | asn-7018 |

Fiber, cable or DSL: what connects Houston homes?
Fiber reaches 55.2% of Houston's residential units, 27th of the 45 cities we track and below the 62.2% median. Cable covers 94.9%, less than in most of our cities. Copper DSL remains at 36.5%. Gigabit service (1,000/100 Mbps) is available to 89% 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.
| Access type in Houston | Residential units covered | Rank among the 45 cities |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber to the home | 55.2% | 27th |
| Cable (DOCSIS) | 94.9% | 26th |
| Copper DSL | 36.5% | 29th |
| Fixed wireless (licensed and unlicensed) | 78.5% | 44th |
| Any terrestrial service at 100/20 Mbps or more | 98.8% | 29th |
| Any terrestrial service at 1,000/100 Mbps or more | 89% | 16th |
| Fiber at 1,000/100 Mbps or more | 54.5% | 20th |
How do I target a Houston ISP in my proxy username?
Start from the city: USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-houston asks for any home IP in Houston. Then add the ASN of the provider you need:
USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-houston-asn-7922: Comcast in Houston.USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-houston-asn-7018: AT&T in Houston.USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-houston-asn-6128: Optimum in Houston.USERNAME-country-us-zip-77006-asn-7922: Comcast in ZIP 77006 (Montrose).USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-houston-asn-7018-session-housto1-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.
Houston is a Comcast city
Unlike Dallas and San Antonio, which are Spectrum markets, Houston's cable network belongs to Comcast, which reports service to 97.0% of residential units. RIPEstat even lists a Comcast ASN named 'COMCAST-HOUSTON' (AS11025), although most Comcast ranges are announced by AS7922. AT&T reports 74.6%; small fiber builders such as Tachus (2.1%) and Ezee Fiber (1.5%) appear in the FCC's top ten.
Which TX rules matter for checks from Houston?
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 a Houston IP lawful or unlawful. Prices shown to Houston 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 a Houston IP. Houston 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.

Houston residential proxies by ISP: FAQ
Which ISPs can I target in Houston?
Any of the providers in the table, by ASN. The widest wired networks in Houston on the FCC map are Comcast (asn-7922, 97%), AT&T (asn-7018, 74.6%), Optimum (asn-6128, 2.2%). Verizon 5G Home and T-Mobile Home Internet also appear, mainly as 5G home internet.

Is Houston a fiber city?
Partly. The FCC map shows fiber available to 55.2% of Houston's residential units (December 31, 2025), 27th of our 45 cities, against 94.9% for cable. Fiber at 1,000/100 Mbps or more reaches 54.5%.
Can I target a Houston ZIP code?
Yes. ZIP targeting works in the United States on every plan: USERNAME-country-us-zip-77006 asks for Montrose, and zip-77008 for Houston Heights. You can add an ASN, but a ZIP-plus-ISP request matches fewer homes, so test it before scaling.
