## How do I target Los Angeles in the proxy username?

You pick Los Angeles by adding `city-los_angeles` (and `state-ca`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-los_angeles`: rotating Los Angeles IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-los_angeles-zip-90272`: narrows to ZIP 90272, one of 102 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-los_angeles-asn-20115`: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Los Angeles.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-los_angeles-session-losa01-ttl-10`: keeps one Los Angeles 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. When Los Angeles has no matching IP online, widen to `state-ca` and retry later. See [how city targeting works](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## Which internet providers serve homes in Los Angeles?

Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Spectrum (Charter) reports wired service to 93% of Los Angeles's 1,693,266 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are AT&T (84%). By technology, fiber covers 37% of addresses, cable 94%. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (80%) and Verizon 5G Home (68%).

These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Los Angeles exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS20115 is Spectrum) before you compare results between runs.

## What else do people ask about Los Angeles proxies?

### What is the difference between a free Los Angeles proxy server and a residential proxy?

A free Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles, CA, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Los Angeles segment is `country-us-state-ca-city-los_angeles`.

### Can I keep the same Los Angeles IP for several minutes?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-los_angeles-session-losa01-ttl-10` keeps one Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles IP.

### Can I target a ZIP code inside Los Angeles?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 102 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Los Angeles, among them 90272, 90049, 91344 and 91352 (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 Los Angeles?

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-los_angeles-asn-20115` asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 93% of Los Angeles homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

### How many Los Angeles IPs does MetroProxies have?

MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles proxy change my browser's time zone?

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Los Angeles uses Pacific Time (UTC−8, UTC−7 in summer); set `America/Los_Angeles` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
