English
Lumen Technologies and CenturyLink, Inc. are one business under two spellings: the Lumen brand launched in September 2020, the ticker followed four days later, and the corporate name only caught up in January 2021. These are the IPs our catalogue files under the newer spelling, in 1 US city — New York City.
Lumen is the whole of the choice · The IP comes from Lumen's pool, and we do not promise which city it surfaces in · Priced by the IP, held for the billing period
The spelling is already settled by the page you opened. What is left is the billing period and how many IPs you want; the total below keeps up.
ISP Proxies
One business has answered to both spellings since the brand launched in September 2020, and the corporate name caught up in January 2021. Each still appears as a row of its own on the form. When an invoice says one thing and your own notes say another, that rename usually explains the whole of it.
Some jobs are assessed on which business your IP is registered to rather than on where it sits. Buying by the name settles that before any money moves, instead of leaving it to whatever label a mixed pool happens to hand back.
AT&T completed its purchase of Lumen's Mass Markets fibre business on 2 February 2026 — the consumer fibre-to-the-home side, Quantum Fiber included. Lumen kept its copper consumer services and every part of its enterprise and wholesale fibre, so the name still covers a great deal; what it no longer covers is that home-fibre footprint.
A note reading 'a proxy was used' convinces nobody. A note naming the business, the month it ran and the sum paid is a different document, and every word of that sentence is decided before the work starts.
Nothing is reassigned to anybody else while your billing period runs, and nothing rotates by the clock or on request, so the registration you checked in week one still reads the same when somebody asks you to prove it months later.
In 1 US city: New York City. That is where our catalogue records the name. It is a fact about the listing rather than a promise about the IP you receive — the next answer is the promise we actually make.
No, and nobody honest will. Choosing Lumen narrows the choice, and that is as far as the narrowing goes: the IP is issued out of Lumen's pool, so the city it comes up in — let alone the street — is not something we commit to.
Yes. The brand launched in September 2020 and CenturyLink, Inc. became Lumen Technologies, Inc. in January 2021, so you are reading one company's before and after rather than two rivals. Each spelling survives as a row of its own on the form, and you buy them separately.
Because the ticker moved with the brand, not with the paperwork. CTL became LUMN at the opening of trading on 18 September 2020, four months before Articles of Amendment under Louisiana law made Lumen Technologies, Inc. the legal name. Anybody dating the rename from the ticker is early by those four months.
Because the rows cover different states. Our CenturyLink row is listed in Delaware, Kansas, New Jersey and Washington, and not in New York. If the spelling you already know is CenturyLink, that is the row you want, and it is a purchase of its own.
CenturyLink bought Level 3 Communications in a deal that closed during November 2017, and the long-haul route miles it brought over sit in the estate wearing the Lumen name today. That is why one business keeps surfacing under three spellings in older records.
Monroe, Louisiana — 100 CenturyLink Drive, an address that still carries the retired spelling. The corporate seat did not move when the branding did, which is one more reason the old and new paperwork can read like separate firms.
Not the fibre-to-the-home side: AT&T completed its purchase of that business on 2 February 2026. Lumen kept its copper consumer services alongside the enterprise and wholesale fibre. Either way, a household connection is not what this page sells.
The one the form showed when you bought. The row you clicked reads Lumen, so Lumen heads the paperwork, and a single clause — 'Lumen Technologies, formerly CenturyLink, Inc.' — covers the rest.
Often the retired one. CenturyLink outlived its own retirement in ordinary memory, so a reader who did not follow the rename reaches for it first. Spending those few extra words up front spares you the follow-up question.
A long-haul one, built to carry other companies' traffic between cities rather than to deliver it to front doors. That is a statement about the business itself, not a prediction about what any particular lookup tool will print. Static Residential
$5.38 for one IP for one month, on our opening rung — where every US carrier we sell starts. A famous name does not move that ladder up and an unfamiliar one does not move it down.
Treat it as a fresh one. The pool decides what comes back, and a second purchase is a second issue. The name carries over; nothing about the IP does.
No. Renaming a business rewrites paperwork rather than routing, and an IP you already hold answers exactly as it did the morning before. What we cannot tell you from here is how quickly any given record elsewhere catches up with the newer spelling.
Ask before you pay. What we can sell tracks the business rather than this page, and we will tell you what the row says this week while your money is still yours. Contact ProxyJam
