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

Write the city into the proxy username. For Madison, the segment is `city-madison`, and it works best with the state segment `state-wi` in front of it.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison`: rotating Madison IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison-zip-53704`: narrows to ZIP 53704, one of 13 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison-asn-20115`: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Madison.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison-session-madi01-ttl-30`: keeps one Madison 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. When Madison has no matching IP online, widen to `state-wi` and retry later. See [how city targeting works](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## Which internet providers serve homes in Madison?

Home internet in Madison is led by Spectrum (Charter), which the FCC map shows at 95% of 147,944 residential units, followed by AT&T (73%) (December 2025 data). By technology, fiber covers 54% of addresses, cable 95%, and 61% can order a gigabit wired plan. T-Mobile Home Internet (81%) and Verizon 5G Home (67%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

A residential IP in Madison 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 Madison?

Madison uses Central Time (America/Chicago), the 353 and 608 area codes and 13 ZIP areas. Match those in your test setup; the proxy only sets where the IP is.

Wisconsin had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

There is no city surcharge for Madison. As of October 2026 the 1 GB test plan is $1.50, 100 GB is $50, and the per-GB price falls to $0.50/GB. Traffic you do not use stays on the account.

### Which plan fits a Madison test?

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |

| Local | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB |

## What else do people ask about Madison proxies?

### Which Madison ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 13 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Madison, among them 53704, 53718, 53719 and 53705 (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 Madison proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

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

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

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison-asn-20115` asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 95% of Madison homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

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

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Madison 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 Madison IP during a session?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison-session-madi01-ttl-30` keeps one Madison 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 Madison IP.

### Which area codes belong to Madison?

Madison numbers use 353 and 608; 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.
