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](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## 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 local details matter when you test from Buffalo? With 276,617 residents in 2024, Buffalo ranks 82 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population fell 0.6% since 2020. It anchors or belongs to the Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY metro area (1.16 million people). Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Buffalo phone numbers use area codes 624 and 716, clocks run on Eastern Time (`America/New_York`), and 17 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Prices shown to New York shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 4%, and state plus average local rates come to 8.54% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). New York has no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force; note the SHIELD Act, which sets data-security and breach-notice duties. ## How much do Buffalo residential proxies cost? Buffalo traffic costs the same as any other US city: $1.50 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB, and from $0.50/GB on the larger plans, as of October 2026. City, state, ZIP and ASN targeting are included in every plan, and unused GB never expire. ### Which plan fits a Buffalo 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).

Prices in USD. ## 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. ## Which other New York cities can I target? - [New York City, NY](https://metroproxies.com/cities/new-york-city-ny/) — 8,478,072 residents - [Yonkers, NY](https://metroproxies.com/cities/yonkers-ny/) — 211,040 residents - [Rochester, NY](https://metroproxies.com/cities/rochester-ny/) — 207,282 residents ## Which large Northeast cities are close in size to Buffalo? - [Newark, NJ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/newark-nj/) — 317,303 residents - [Pittsburgh, PA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/pittsburgh-pa/) — 307,668 residents - [Jersey City, NJ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/jersey-city-nj/) — 302,824 residents - [Worcester, MA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/worcester-ma/) — 211,286 residents **Test Buffalo with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
