How do I target Buffalo in the proxy username?
Buffalo targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-ny-city-buffalo after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.
USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-buffalo: rotating Buffalo IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-buffalo-zip-14215: narrows to ZIP 14215, one of 17 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-buffalo-asn-20115: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Buffalo.USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-buffalo-session-buff01-ttl-10: keeps one Buffalo IP for up to 10 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.
Which internet providers serve homes in Buffalo?
Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Spectrum (Charter) reports wired service to 97% of Buffalo's 144,703 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are Verizon Fios (87%) and Greenlight (23%). By technology, fiber covers 54% of addresses, cable 97%. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (91%).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Buffalo exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS20115 is Spectrum) before you compare results between runs.

What else do people ask about Buffalo proxies?
What is the difference between a free Buffalo proxy server and a residential proxy?
A free Buffalo proxy server from a public list is usually a shared data-center or open machine, with no owner you can contact and no rules of use. A MetroProxies residential proxy routes through a home connection in Buffalo, NY, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Buffalo segment is country-us-state-ny-city-buffalo.
Can I keep the same Buffalo IP for several minutes?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-buffalo-session-buff01-ttl-10 keeps one Buffalo exit for up to 10 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 Buffalo IP.
Can I target a ZIP code inside Buffalo?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 17 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Buffalo, among them 14215, 14220, 14206 and 14214 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
How do I target Spectrum in Buffalo?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-buffalo-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 97% of Buffalo homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
How many Buffalo IPs does MetroProxies have?
MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Buffalo changes through the day. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Start with the 1 GB plan ($1.50) to test your own targets before you buy volume.
Will a Buffalo proxy change my browser's time zone?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Buffalo uses Eastern Time (UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer); set America/New_York and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
