How do I target Worcester in the proxy username?
You pick Worcester by adding city-worcester (and state-ma) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.
USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-worcester: rotating Worcester IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-worcester-zip-01604: narrows to ZIP 01604, one of 9 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-worcester-asn-20115: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Worcester.USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-worcester-session-worc01-ttl-10: keeps one Worcester 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 Worcester has no matching IP online, widen to state-ma and retry later. See how city targeting works.
Which internet providers serve homes in Worcester?
Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Spectrum (Charter) reports wired service to 96% of Worcester's 89,337 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are Verizon Fios (63%). By technology, fiber covers 28% of addresses, cable 95%. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (71%) and AT&T Internet Air (49%).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Worcester exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS20115 is Spectrum) before you compare results between runs.

What else do people ask about Worcester proxies?
What is the difference between a free Worcester proxy server and a residential proxy?
A free Worcester 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 Worcester, MA, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Worcester segment is country-us-state-ma-city-worcester.
Can I keep the same Worcester IP for several minutes?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-worcester-session-worc01-ttl-10 keeps one Worcester 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 Worcester IP.
Can I target a ZIP code inside Worcester?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 9 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Worcester, among them 01604, 01602, 01605 and 01606 (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 Spectrum in Worcester?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-ma-city-worcester-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 96% of Worcester homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

Will a Worcester proxy change my browser's time zone?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Worcester uses Eastern Time (UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer); set America/New_York and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
