How do I target Charlotte in the proxy username?
You pick Charlotte by adding city-charlotte (and state-nc) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.
USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-charlotte: rotating Charlotte IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-charlotte-zip-28269: narrows to ZIP 28269, one of 27 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-charlotte-asn-20115: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Charlotte.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-charlotte-session-char01-ttl-15: keeps one Charlotte 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.
Which internet providers serve homes in Charlotte?
Charlotte counts 438,377 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Spectrum (95%) and AT&T (91%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 69% of addresses, cable 93%, and 70% can order a gigabit wired plan. Verizon 5G Home (88%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (88%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Charlotte 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 Charlotte?
Charlotte had 943,476 residents on July 1, 2024 (+7.9% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. The city is part of the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC metropolitan area; the metro had 2,883,370 residents in 2024.
For tests that read local details, expect area codes 704 and 980, Eastern Time and ZIP codes such as 28269, 28277 and 28273. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone America/New_York and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Sales tax in North Carolina: 4.75% at state level, 7.1% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. North Carolina had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

What else do people ask about Charlotte proxies?
Does a Charlotte IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Charlotte 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 Charlotte ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 27 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Charlotte, among them 28269, 28277, 28273 and 28215 (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 Charlotte proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Charlotte proxy server" means any proxy with a Charlotte 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 Charlotte, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-nc-city-charlotte in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Does North Carolina law change how I can use a Charlotte proxy?
MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. North Carolina 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.
Can I get a Charlotte IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-charlotte-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 95% of Charlotte 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 Charlotte IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-charlotte-session-char01-ttl-15 keeps one Charlotte 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 Charlotte IP.
