How do I target Ontario in the proxy username?

Write the city into the proxy username. For Ontario, the segment is city-ontario, and it works best with the state segment state-ca in front of it.

  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-ontario: rotating Ontario IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-ontario-zip-91761: narrows to ZIP 91761, one of 3 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-ontario-asn-20115: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Ontario.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-ontario-session-onta01-ttl-20: keeps one Ontario IP for up to 20 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.

City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. If a narrow request returns errors, drop the ZIP or ASN segment first, then the city. The full format is on the city targeting page.

Which internet providers serve homes in Ontario?

Ontario counts 64,836 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Spectrum (88%), Frontier (62%) and AT&T (47%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 70% of addresses, cable 87%, and 81% can order a gigabit wired plan. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (56%) and Verizon 5G Home (55%).

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

What local details matter when you test from Ontario?

Ontario had 185,285 residents on July 1, 2024 (+5.7% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. It anchors or belongs to the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA metro area (4.74 million people), which also includes Riverside, San Bernardino, Fontana and Moreno Valley.

Ontario uses Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles), the 840 and 909 area codes and 3 ZIP areas. Match those in your test setup; the proxy only sets where the IP is. Prices shown to California shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 7.25%, and state plus average local rates come to 9.03% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). California has a consumer privacy law in force, the CCPA/CPRA (since January 1, 2020).

What else do people ask about Ontario proxies?

How do I target Spectrum in Ontario?

Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-ontario-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 88% of Ontario homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

What is the difference between a free Ontario proxy server and a residential proxy?

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

How many Ontario IPs does MetroProxies have?

MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Ontario 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.

Can I keep the same Ontario IP for several minutes?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-ontario-session-onta01-ttl-20 keeps one Ontario exit for up to 20 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 Ontario IP.

What phone area code should an Ontario test use?

Ontario numbers use 840 and 909; 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.

Can I target a ZIP code inside Ontario?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 3 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Ontario, among them 91761, 91762 and 91764 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
