You pick Brownsville by adding `city-brownsville` (and `state-tx`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville`: rotating Brownsville IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-zip-78526`: narrows to ZIP 78526, one of 2 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-asn-20115`: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Brownsville. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-session-brow01-ttl-30`: keeps one Brownsville IP for up to 30 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. If a narrow request returns errors, drop the ZIP or ASN segment first, then the city. The full format is on the [city targeting page](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## Which internet providers serve homes in Brownsville? Brownsville counts 73,689 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Spectrum (93%), AT&T (68%) and Omni Fiber (35%), by share of units covered. Fiber is available to 44% of homes and cable to 93%; copper DSL lines still reach 44%. Verizon 5G Home (74%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (70%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless). These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Brownsville exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS20115 is Spectrum) before you compare results between runs. ## What local details matter when you test from Brownsville?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 2 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Brownsville, among them 78526 and 78520 (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 Brownsville proxy server the same as a residential proxy? Not always. "Brownsville proxy server" means any proxy with a Brownsville 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 Brownsville, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville` in the username; plans start at $1.50. ### Can I get a Brownsville IP from one internet provider? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-asn-20115` asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 93% of Brownsville homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### Does a Brownsville IP set the local time on my tool? No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Brownsville uses Central Time (UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer); set `America/Chicago` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them. ### How do I hold one Brownsville IP during a session? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-session-brow01-ttl-30` keeps one Brownsville exit for up to 30 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 Brownsville IP. ### Which area codes belong to Brownsville? Brownsville numbers use area code 956 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests. ## Which other Texas cities can I target? - [Houston, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/houston-tx/) — 2,390,125 residents - [San Antonio, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-antonio-tx/) — 1,526,656 residents - [Dallas, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/dallas-tx/) — 1,326,087 residents - [Fort Worth, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fort-worth-tx/) — 1,008,106 residents - [Austin, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/austin-tx/) — 993,588 residents - [El Paso, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/el-paso-tx/) — 681,723 residents - [Arlington, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/arlington-tx/) — 403,672 residents - [Corpus Christi, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/corpus-christi-tx/) — 317,317 residents ## Which large South cities are close in size to Brownsville? - [Knoxville, TN](https://metroproxies.com/cities/knoxville-tn/) — 198,722 residents - [Birmingham, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/birmingham-al/) — 196,357 residents - [Montgomery, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/montgomery-al/) — 195,818 residents - [Chattanooga, TN](https://metroproxies.com/cities/chattanooga-tn/) — 191,496 residents - [Fort Lauderdale, FL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fort-lauderdale-fl/) — 190,641 residents - [Clarksville, TN](https://metroproxies.com/cities/clarksville-tn/) — 185,690 residents **Test Brownsville with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
