How do I target Brightspeed in the proxy username?
Add asn-19901 to your username. The full format is USERNAME-country-{cc}-state-{state}-city-{city}-zip-{zip}-asn-{asn}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}; every segment except the country is optional.
USERNAME-country-us-asn-19901: any Brightspeed IP in the United States.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-asn-19901: Brightspeed in one state.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-rocky_mount-asn-19901: Brightspeed in Rocky Mount.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-rocky_mount-asn-19901-session-brightspeed1-ttl-15: the same Rocky Mount IP kept for up to 15 minutes.
Connect to gw.broadbandproxies.com on port 7777 (HTTP and HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). Each extra filter shrinks the set of matching home IPs: if a request finds none, drop the ZIP or city first and keep asn-19901. Check what you got with our exit IP ASN guide.
What do Brightspeed IPs look like to websites?
AS19901 announces about 3.0 million IPv4 addresses (RIPEstat, 2026-10-18). In the FCC map Brightspeed appears as 'Connect Holding II LLC', its legal holding company, with small shares in Raleigh (1.7%) and St. Louis (0.2%): its homes are mostly outside the big cities.

Brightspeed residential proxies: FAQ
Is Brightspeed the same as CenturyLink?
No longer. Apollo funds bought Lumen's local telephone business in 20 states in October 2022 and named it Brightspeed. It runs its own ASN, AS19901. CenturyLink's remaining areas stay with Lumen on AS209.
Why is Brightspeed called 'Connect Holding II LLC' in FCC data?
Connect Holding II LLC is Brightspeed's legal holding company, the name used in regulatory filings. In our city tables it means Brightspeed.
Are Brightspeed IPs fiber?
Some are. Brightspeed had more than 3 million fiber-enabled locations in April 2026, out of a footprint of more than 7.3 million homes and businesses, so many lines are still copper.
How much does a Brightspeed residential proxy cost?
The same as any other US network: Brightspeed targeting is included at no extra cost. As of October 2026, Broadband Proxies charges $2.63 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB, $50 for 100 GB and $500 for 1 TB ($0.50/GB). Pay from a $25 crypto top-up; unused traffic never expires.
