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

You pick Scottsdale by adding `city-scottsdale` (and `state-az`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-scottsdale`: rotating Scottsdale IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-scottsdale-zip-85255`: narrows to ZIP 85255, one of 7 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-scottsdale-asn-22773`: asks for an IP on Cox's network (AS22773) when one is online in Scottsdale.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-scottsdale-session-scot01-ttl-30`: keeps one Scottsdale 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. 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](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## Which internet providers serve homes in Scottsdale?

Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Cox reports wired service to 89% of Scottsdale's 153,450 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are CenturyLink (86%). 45% of Scottsdale homes can order fiber and 58% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 94%. AT&T Internet Air (76%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (71%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

A residential IP in Scottsdale 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 AS22773 for Cox.

## What local details matter when you test from Scottsdale?

The Census Bureau counts 246,170 people in Scottsdale for July 2024, up 2.0% from the April 2020 base. The city is part of the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metropolitan area, shared with [Phoenix](https://metroproxies.com/cities/phoenix-az/), [Mesa](https://metroproxies.com/cities/mesa-az/), [Gilbert](https://metroproxies.com/cities/gilbert-az/) and [Chandler](https://metroproxies.com/cities/chandler-az/); the metro had 5,186,958 residents in 2024.

Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Scottsdale phone numbers use area codes 480, 602 and 623, clocks run on Mountain Standard Time all year (`America/Phoenix`), and 7 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in Arizona: 5.6% at state level, 8.54% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Arizona had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

## How much do Scottsdale residential proxies cost?

Scottsdale traffic costs the same as any other US city: $1.50 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB, and from $0.50/GB on the larger plans, as of October 2026. City, state, ZIP and ASN targeting are included in every plan, and unused GB never expire.

### Which plan fits a Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale proxies?

### Which Scottsdale ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 7 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Scottsdale, among them 85255, 85259, 85266 and 85260 (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 Scottsdale proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

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

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

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-scottsdale-asn-22773` asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 89% of Scottsdale homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

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

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Scottsdale uses Mountain Standard Time all year (UTC−7); set `America/Phoenix` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.

### How do I hold one Scottsdale IP during a session?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-scottsdale-session-scot01-ttl-30` keeps one Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale IP.

### Which area codes belong to Scottsdale?

Scottsdale numbers use 480, 602 and 623; 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.
