Huntsville targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put `state-al-city-huntsville` after the country, and connect to `gw.metroproxies.com`. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-huntsville`: rotating Huntsville IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-huntsville-zip-35756`: narrows to ZIP 35756, one of 9 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-huntsville-asn-7922`: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Huntsville. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-huntsville-session-hunt01-ttl-30`: keeps one Huntsville 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 Huntsville? Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Xfinity (Comcast) reports wired service to 94% of Huntsville's 114,167 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are AT&T (90%), Google Fiber (71%) and WOW! (69%). 81% of Huntsville homes can order fiber and 97% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 95%. T-Mobile Home Internet (80%) and Verizon 5G Home (77%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless). What this means for a Huntsville proxy: a residential exit IP belongs to whichever home network the device uses, so Xfinity 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 Huntsville? The Census Bureau counts 230,402 people in Huntsville for July 2024, up 7.1% from the April 2020 base. The city is part of the Huntsville, AL metropolitan area; the metro had 542,297 residents in 2024. Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Huntsville phone numbers use area codes 256 and 938, clocks run on Central Time (`America/Chicago`), and 9 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in Alabama: 4% at state level, 9.46% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Alabama had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026. ## How much do Huntsville residential proxies cost? Huntsville 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 Huntsville 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). The top-up is the price of the plan you choose, less any balance you already have, and at least $25; anything left stays on your balance. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD. ## What else do people ask about Huntsville proxies? ### Which Huntsville ZIP codes can I request? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 9 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Huntsville, among them 35756, 35810, 35802 and 35806 (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 Huntsville proxy server the same as a residential proxy? Not always. "Huntsville proxy server" means any proxy with a Huntsville 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 Huntsville, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-al-city-huntsville` in the username; plans start at $1.50. ### Can I get a Huntsville IP from one internet provider? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-huntsville-asn-7922` asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 94% of Huntsville homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### Does a Huntsville IP set the local time on my tool? No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Huntsville 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 Huntsville IP during a session? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-al-city-huntsville-session-hunt01-ttl-30` keeps one Huntsville 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 Huntsville IP. ### Which area codes belong to Huntsville? Huntsville numbers use 256 and 938; these codes overlay the same area, so any of them is local (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 Alabama cities can I target? - [Mobile, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/mobile-al/) — 201,367 residents - [Birmingham, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/birmingham-al/) — 196,357 residents - [Montgomery, AL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/montgomery-al/) — 195,818 residents ## Which large South cities are close in size to Huntsville? - [Richmond, VA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/richmond-va/) — 233,655 residents - [Cape Coral, FL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/cape-coral-fl/) — 233,025 residents - [Norfolk, VA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/norfolk-va/) — 231,105 residents - [McKinney, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/mckinney-tx/) — 227,526 residents - [Baton Rouge, LA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/baton-rouge-la/) — 220,907 residents - [Fayetteville, NC](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fayetteville-nc/) — 209,496 residents **Test Huntsville with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
