Laredo targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put `state-tx-city-laredo` after the country, and connect to `gw.metroproxies.com`. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-laredo`: rotating Laredo IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-laredo-zip-78041`: narrows to ZIP 78041, one of 2 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-laredo-asn-20115`: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Laredo. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-laredo-session-lare01-ttl-15`: keeps one Laredo 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. When Laredo has no matching IP online, widen to `state-tx` and retry later. See [how city targeting works](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## Which internet providers serve homes in Laredo? Home internet in Laredo is led by Spectrum (Charter), which the FCC map shows at 92% of 93,611 residential units, followed by AT&T (57%) and Metronet (39%) (December 2025 data). 56% of Laredo homes can order fiber and 92% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 84%. T-Mobile Home Internet (69%) and Verizon 5G Home (62%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless). A residential IP in Laredo is announced by the provider of the home it comes from. The FCC shares above tell you which networks to expect; the [ASN targeting page](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/asn/) shows how to pin one, for example AS20115 for Spectrum. ## What local details matter when you test from Laredo? Laredo had 261,260 residents on July 1, 2024 (+2.4% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. The city is part of the Laredo, TX metropolitan area; the metro had 272,823 residents in 2024. For tests that read local details, expect area code 956, Central Time and ZIP codes such as 78041 and 78040. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone `America/Chicago` and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Sales tax in Texas: 6.25% at state level, 8.2% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Data collected about Texas residents falls under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA). ## How much do Laredo residential proxies cost? As of October 2026, Laredo 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 Laredo 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 Laredo proxies? ### Does a Laredo IP set the local time on my tool? No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Laredo 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. ### Which Laredo ZIP codes can I request? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 2 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Laredo, among them 78041 and 78040 (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 Laredo proxy server the same as a residential proxy? Not always. "Laredo proxy server" means any proxy with a Laredo 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 Laredo, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-tx-city-laredo` in the username; plans start at $1.50. ### Does Texas law change how I can use a Laredo proxy? MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Texas's TDPSA governs how businesses handle personal data of residents, and each site's terms still apply. Collect only public data and follow the [acceptable use policy](https://metroproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ### Can I get a Laredo IP from one internet provider? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-laredo-asn-20115` asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 92% of Laredo 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 Laredo IP during a session? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-laredo-session-lare01-ttl-15` keeps one Laredo 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 Laredo IP. ## Which other Texas cities can I target? - [Houston, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/houston-tx/) — 2,390,125 residents - [San Antonio, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-antonio-tx/) — 1,526,656 residents - [Dallas, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/dallas-tx/) — 1,326,087 residents - [Fort Worth, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fort-worth-tx/) — 1,008,106 residents - [Austin, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/austin-tx/) — 993,588 residents - [El Paso, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/el-paso-tx/) — 681,723 residents - [Arlington, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/arlington-tx/) — 403,672 residents - [Corpus Christi, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/corpus-christi-tx/) — 317,317 residents ## Which large South cities are close in size to Laredo? - [St. Petersburg, FL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/st-petersburg-fl/) — 267,102 residents - [Port St. Lucie, FL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/port-st-lucie-fl/) — 258,575 residents - [Winston-Salem, NC](https://metroproxies.com/cities/winston-salem-nc/) — 255,769 residents **Test Laredo with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
