Tempe targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put `state-az-city-tempe` after the country, and connect to `gw.metroproxies.com`. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe`: rotating Tempe IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-zip-85281`: narrows to ZIP 85281, one of 4 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-asn-22773`: asks for an IP on Cox's network (AS22773) when one is online in Tempe. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-session-temp01-ttl-20`: keeps one Tempe 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. When Tempe has no matching IP online, widen to `state-az` and retry later. See [how city targeting works](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## Which internet providers serve homes in Tempe? Tempe counts 95,699 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Cox (85%) and CenturyLink (83%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 22% of addresses, cable 68%, and 59% can order a gigabit wired plan. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (77%) and Verizon 5G Home (75%). A residential IP in Tempe 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 Tempe? Tempe had 190,114 residents on July 1, 2024 (+3.2% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. It anchors or belongs to the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro area (5.19 million people), which also includes [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/). Tempe uses Mountain Standard Time all year (America/Phoenix), the 480, 602 and 623 area codes and 4 ZIP areas. Match those in your test setup; the proxy only sets where the IP is. Prices shown to Arizona shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 5.6%, and state plus average local rates come to 8.54% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). Arizona had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026. ## How much do Tempe residential proxies cost? Tempe 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 Tempe 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 Tempe proxies? ### How do I target Cox in Tempe? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-asn-22773` asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 85% of Tempe 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 Tempe proxy server and a residential proxy? A free Tempe 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 Tempe, AZ, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Tempe segment is `country-us-state-az-city-tempe`. ### How many Tempe IPs does MetroProxies have? MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Tempe 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 Tempe IP for several minutes? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-session-temp01-ttl-20` keeps one Tempe 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 Tempe IP. ### What phone area code should a Tempe test use? Tempe 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. ### Can I target a ZIP code inside Tempe? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 4 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Tempe, among them 85281, 85282, 85283 and 85284 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors. ## Which other Arizona cities can I target? - [Phoenix, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/phoenix-az/) — 1,673,164 residents - [Tucson, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/tucson-az/) — 554,013 residents - [Mesa, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/mesa-az/) — 517,151 residents - [Gilbert, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/gilbert-az/) — 288,790 residents - [Chandler, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/chandler-az/) — 281,231 residents - [Glendale, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/glendale-az/) — 258,143 residents - [Scottsdale, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/scottsdale-az/) — 246,170 residents - [Peoria, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/peoria-az/) — 199,924 residents ## Which large West cities are close in size to Tempe? - [Vancouver, WA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/vancouver-wa/) — 198,992 residents - [Huntington Beach, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/huntington-beach-ca/) — 193,151 residents - [Glendale, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/glendale-ca/) — 187,823 residents - [Ontario, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/ontario-ca/) — 185,285 residents - [Elk Grove, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/elk-grove-ca/) — 182,797 residents **Test Tempe with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
