Portland residential proxies by ISP: Comcast and CenturyLink

Which internet providers serve Portland homes?

Comcast is the widest wired network in Portland: it reports service to 99.3% of the 347,591 residential units the FCC counts in the city. CenturyLink follows at 81.5%, then AT&T at 64.7%. In total the FCC's top-ten list for Portland holds 7 non-satellite providers. T-Mobile Home Internet (82.1%) and Verizon 5G Home (68%) are mostly 5G fixed wireless home internet, whose IPs share the carrier's mobile network.

Fiber, cable or DSL: what connects Portland homes?

Fiber reaches 71.5% of Portland's residential units, 13th of the 45 cities we track and above the 62.2% median. Cable is almost everywhere (97.7%), so a cable IP is the most common home connection type. Copper DSL remains at 20.5%. Gigabit service (1,000/100 Mbps) is available to 81.9% 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 Portland ISP in my proxy username?

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

• USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-portland-asn-7922: Comcast in Portland.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-portland-asn-209: CenturyLink in Portland.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-portland-asn-7018: AT&T in Portland.
• USERNAME-country-us-zip-97209-asn-7922: Comcast in ZIP 97209 (Pearl District).
• USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-portland-asn-209-session-portla1-ttl-20: one CenturyLink 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.

Portland: Comcast, Quantum Fiber and local fiber

Which OR rules matter for checks from Portland?

Oregon has a comprehensive privacy law, the Oregon Consumer Privacy 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 Portland IP lawful or unlawful. Prices shown to Portland shoppers may add sales tax at checkout: the combined state and local rate is 0% (no general sales tax), so compare pre-tax prices when you check retail pages from a Portland IP. Portland is on Pacific 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.
