You pick Minneapolis by adding `city-minneapolis` (and `state-mn`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-minneapolis`: rotating Minneapolis IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-minneapolis-zip-55418`: narrows to ZIP 55418, one of 20 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-minneapolis-asn-7922`: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Minneapolis. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-minneapolis-session-minn01-ttl-10`: keeps one Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis has no matching IP online, widen to `state-mn` and retry later. See [how city targeting works](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## Which internet providers serve homes in Minneapolis? Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Xfinity (Comcast) reports wired service to 100% of Minneapolis's 190,756 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are CenturyLink (94%). By technology, fiber covers 72% of addresses, cable 98%, and 98% can order a gigabit wired plan. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by Verizon 5G Home (80%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (80%). These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Minneapolis exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS7922 is Xfinity) before you compare results between runs. ## What local details matter when you test from Minneapolis? With 428,579 residents in 2024, Minneapolis ranks 46 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population fell 0.3% since 2020. It anchors or belongs to the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro area (3.76 million people), which also includes [St. Paul](https://metroproxies.com/cities/st-paul-mn/). Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Minneapolis phone numbers use area code 612, clocks run on Central Time (`America/Chicago`), and 20 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Prices shown to Minnesota shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 6.88%, and state plus average local rates come to 8.14% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). Minnesota has a consumer privacy law in force, the MCDPA (since July 31, 2025). ## How much do Minneapolis residential proxies cost? There is no city surcharge for Minneapolis. 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 Minneapolis 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).

Prices in USD. ## What else do people ask about Minneapolis proxies? ### What is the difference between a free Minneapolis proxy server and a residential proxy? A free Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis, MN, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Minneapolis segment is `country-us-state-mn-city-minneapolis`. ### Can I keep the same Minneapolis IP for several minutes? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-minneapolis-session-minn01-ttl-10` keeps one Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis IP. ### Can I target a ZIP code inside Minneapolis? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 20 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Minneapolis, among them 55418, 55406, 55419 and 55417 (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 Xfinity in Minneapolis? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-minneapolis-asn-7922` asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 100% of Minneapolis homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### How many Minneapolis IPs does MetroProxies have? MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis proxy change my browser's time zone? No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Minneapolis 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 other Minnesota cities can I target? - [St. Paul, MN](https://metroproxies.com/cities/st-paul-mn/) — 307,465 residents ## Which large Midwest cities are close in size to Minneapolis? - [Milwaukee, WI](https://metroproxies.com/cities/milwaukee-wi/) — 563,531 residents - [Kansas City, MO](https://metroproxies.com/cities/kansas-city-mo/) — 516,032 residents - [Omaha, NE](https://metroproxies.com/cities/omaha-ne/) — 489,265 residents - [Wichita, KS](https://metroproxies.com/cities/wichita-ks/) — 400,991 residents - [Cleveland, OH](https://metroproxies.com/cities/cleveland-oh/) — 365,379 residents - [Cincinnati, OH](https://metroproxies.com/cities/cincinnati-oh/) — 314,915 residents **Test Minneapolis with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
