Richmond residential proxies by ISP: Comcast and Verizon

Which internet providers serve Richmond homes?

Comcast is the widest wired network in Richmond: it reports service to 98.8% of the 126,861 residential units the FCC counts in the city. Verizon follows at 91.6%, then AT&T at 71%. In total the FCC's top-ten list for Richmond holds 4 non-satellite providers. T-Mobile Home Internet (86.5%) is mostly 5G fixed wireless home internet, whose IPs share the carrier's mobile network.

Fiber, cable or DSL: what connects Richmond homes?

Fiber reaches 68.6% of Richmond's residential units, 17th of the 45 cities we track and above the 62.2% median. Cable is almost everywhere (98.7%), 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 0.1%: 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.

How do I target a Richmond ISP in my proxy username?

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

• USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-asn-7922: Comcast in Richmond.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-asn-701: Verizon in Richmond.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-asn-7018: AT&T in Richmond.
• USERNAME-country-us-zip-23220-asn-7922: Comcast in ZIP 23220 (ZIP 23220).
• USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-asn-701-session-richmo1-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.

Richmond: Comcast and Verizon Fios

Comcast reports service to 98.8% of Richmond's residential units and Verizon, a Fios provider here, to 91.6%. Fiber reaches 68.6% of units, but fiber filed at 1,000/100 Mbps or more only 0.1%, and any terrestrial gigabit service 38.7%. Copper DSL no longer appears (0.0%).

Which VA rules matter for checks from Richmond?

Virginia has a comprehensive privacy law, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (in force since January 1, 2023). It governs how businesses treat residents' data; it is not a rule about proxies, and it does not make a check from a Richmond IP lawful or unlawful. Prices shown to Richmond shoppers may add sales tax at checkout: the combined state and local rate is 6%, so compare pre-tax prices when you check retail pages from a Richmond IP. Richmond is on Eastern 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.
