## How do I target Boise in the proxy username?

You pick Boise by adding `city-boise` (and `state-id`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-id-city-boise`: rotating Boise IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-id-city-boise-zip-83705`: narrows to ZIP 83705, one of 7 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-id-city-boise-asn-11492`: asks for an IP on Sparklight's network (AS11492) when one is online in Boise.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-id-city-boise-session-bois01-ttl-15`: keeps one Boise IP for up to 15 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.

City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow. Details: [city-level targeting](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## Which internet providers serve homes in Boise?

Boise counts 117,463 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Sparklight (98%) and CenturyLink (91%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 32% of addresses, cable 97%. T-Mobile Home Internet (62%) and Verizon 5G Home (53%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Boise exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS11492 is Sparklight) before you compare results between runs.

## What local details matter when you test from Boise?

With 237,963 residents in 2024, Boise ranks 95 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population grew 1.0% since 2020. The city is part of the Boise City, ID metropolitan area; the metro had 845,877 residents in 2024.

Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Boise phone numbers use area codes 208 and 986, clocks run on Mountain Time (`America/Denver`), and 7 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in Idaho: 6% at state level, 6.03% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Idaho had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

## How much do Boise residential proxies cost?

As of October 2026, Boise residential proxies use the standard price list: 10 GB for $5.94, 100 GB for $50, down to $0.50/GB at volume. Targeting by city, ZIP or ASN is part of every plan.

### Which plan fits a Boise test?

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Test | 1 GB | $1.50 | $1.50/GB |
| Local | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB |
| National | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB |
| Terabyte | 1 TB | $500 | $0.50/GB |

Pay in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The top-up is the price of the plan you choose, less any balance you already have, and at least $25; anything left stays on your balance. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD.

## What else do people ask about Boise proxies?

### Does a Boise IP set the local time on my tool?

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Boise uses Mountain Time (UTC−7, UTC−6 in summer); set `America/Denver` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.

### Which Boise ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 7 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Boise, among them 83705, 83704, 83706 and 83713 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.

### Is a Boise proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

Not always. "Boise proxy server" means any proxy with a Boise IP; public free lists mostly show shared data-center or open servers that change often. A residential proxy sends your request through a home connection in Boise, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-id-city-boise` in the username; plans start at $1.50.

### Does Idaho law change how I can use a Boise proxy?

MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Idaho has no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force, and each site's terms still apply. Collect only public data and follow the [acceptable use policy](https://metroproxies.com/acceptable-use/).

### Can I get a Boise IP from one internet provider?

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-id-city-boise-asn-11492` asks for Sparklight (AS11492). Per the FCC map, Sparklight serves 98% of Boise homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

### How do I hold one Boise IP during a session?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-id-city-boise-session-bois01-ttl-15` keeps one Boise exit for up to 15 minutes. Sessions last up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier if the residential device goes offline. Use a new session ID to get a new Boise IP.
