Who sells home internet in Chicago, and why does it matter for a proxy?
Home internet in Chicago comes from Xfinity, AT&T Fiber, Astound Broadband, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, Verizon 5G Home Internet, per BroadbandNow. A Chicago exit IP belongs to the household's provider, so sites see a home broadband customer of, say, AT&T Fiber, not a data center. The Illinois proxy page lists the AS numbers behind Illinois providers; add -asn- and one of them to keep Chicago traffic on a single network.
Mobile networks in Chicago: T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon. Carrier IPs come as US-wide 4G/5G mobile ports from $3.75/day.
