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

Cleveland targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put `state-oh-city-cleveland` after the country, and connect to `gw.metroproxies.com`.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland`: rotating Cleveland IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-zip-44135`: narrows to ZIP 44135, one of 16 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-asn-7018`: asks for an IP on AT&T's network (AS7018) when one is online in Cleveland.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-session-clev01-ttl-30`: keeps one Cleveland 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. 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 Cleveland?

Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), AT&T reports wired service to 97% of Cleveland's 215,955 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are Spectrum (97%). 46% of Cleveland homes can order fiber and 96% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 98%. T-Mobile Home Internet (81%) and Verizon 5G Home (72%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

What this means for a Cleveland proxy: a residential exit IP belongs to whichever home network the device uses, so AT&T addresses are the most common kind in the city, but not the only one. Look up the ASN of the exit IP you get, and use `asn-` targeting when a test must run on one provider.

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

The Census Bureau counts 365,379 people in Cleveland for July 2024, down 1.9% from the April 2020 base. The city is part of the Cleveland, OH metropolitan area; the metro had 2,171,877 residents in 2024.

Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Cleveland phone numbers use area code 216, clocks run on Eastern Time (`America/New_York`), and 16 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in Ohio: 5.75% at state level, 7.29% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Ohio had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

## How much do Cleveland residential proxies cost?

As of October 2026, Cleveland 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 Cleveland test?

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |

| Test | 1 GB | $1.50 | $1.50/GB |
| Local | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB |

## What else do people ask about Cleveland proxies?

### Which Cleveland ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 16 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Cleveland, among them 44135, 44109, 44105 and 44111 (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 Cleveland proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

Not always. "Cleveland proxy server" means any proxy with a Cleveland 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 Cleveland, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland` in the username; plans start at $1.50.

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

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-asn-7018` asks for AT&T (AS7018). Per the FCC map, AT&T serves 97% of Cleveland homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

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

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Cleveland 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.

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

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-session-clev01-ttl-30` keeps one Cleveland 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 Cleveland IP.

### Which area codes belong to Cleveland?

Cleveland numbers use area code 216 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
