Why Mexico
Marketplaces, phones and a big online population
INEGI counted 104.9 million internet users in 2025, 86.1% of people aged six and over, and 31.1 million households with a connection. Use is uneven: 93.9% of people in Nuevo León were online, 71.2% in Chiapas. 37.3% of users bought something online in 2025.
The shopping traffic goes to a short list. Mercado Libre and Amazon.com.mx were the two most visited shopping sites in September 2026, followed by Temu, AliExpress and Walmart (Similarweb), with Liverpool (41st) and Coppel (52nd) further down the national ranking.
Mexico browses on phones first. StatCounter put 55.28% of Mexican page views on mobile in September 2026, and Android ran on 72.01% of those phones. Google handled 87.99% of searches and Bing 9.5%.

The largest metro areas and their keys
Metropolitan areas by 2020 census population, with the state and city keys our gateway accepted on 26 October 2026.

Populations: 2020 census, metro areas as delimited in Metrópolis de México 2020, taken from Wikipedia’s table. In our test ipinfo.io placed 22 of 24 state requests in the state asked; both misses were State of Mexico requests placed in Mexico City. Of 24 city requests 19 hit: three Monterrey requests went to Guadalupe or Anáhuac, one Guadalajara request to Zapopan and one Mexico City request to Tingüindín, Michoacán. Confirm the city of an exit before relying on it.
Networks
Which networks Mexican homes and phones use
Telmex carries about a third of the users APNIC measures in Mexico under a single ASN, while izzi’s share is split over more than a dozen.
| Network | ASN | Share of Mexican users | IPv6 | Of our 39 household exits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telmex | AS8151 | 34.8% | 69.0% | 21 |
| Totalplay | AS17072 · AS22884 | 16% | 83.6% · 26.2% | 9 |
| Megacable | AS13999 | 15.8% | 73.6% | 5 |
| izzi (Cablevisión) | AS28548 | 6.3% | 66.9% | 3 |
| izzi (Cablemás, TVI and others) | AS28509 · AS11888 · AS265594 … | 9.6% | 21–80% | 0 |
| Telcel | AS28403 | 4.9% | 47.2% | 0 |
| AT&T México | AS28469 | 1.6% | 19.3% | 0 |
| Altán Redes | AS265540 | 1.5% | 0.2% | 0 |
| IENTC | AS28458 | 1.1% | 0.8% | 1 |
| Movistar | AS7438 | 1% | 0.3% | 0 |
Shares and IPv6 from APNIC Labs, 24–25 October 2026: shares of Mexico’s measured users, not of our pool. The last column counts the household exits placed in Mexico in our 26 October sample, located by ipinfo.io; two of the nine Totalplay exits came without an ASN in the lookup. 58.1% of Mexico’s measured users could use IPv6.
Fixed internet
Four groups hold almost every fixed line
Fixed internet accesses at the end of 2025, as reported by the operators to the telecom regulator, the CRT. Total: 29,301,712.
The CRT lists izzi under three companies, Televisión Internacional, Cablemás and Cablevisión, each with its own ASNs.
Mobile
Why a Mexican phone usually shows a home ISP
The CRT counted 146,147,478 active mobile lines at the end of 2025: Telcel 57.53%, AT&T 16.47%, Movistar 13.77% and Walmart’s Bait 7.46%. Yet Telcel’s network, AS28403, carries only 4.93% of the users APNIC measures in Mexico. INEGI’s 2025 survey points to the reason: 72.8% of smartphone users connect over both Wi-Fi and mobile data and 16.7% over Wi-Fi only, so much of the time a Mexican phone reaches the web through its household line.
Twelve exits through our mobile login on 26 October 2026 all landed in Mexico: eight on Altán Redes, two on Telcel and one each on Movistar and AT&T. Altán and Movistar are almost IPv4-only in APNIC’s data (0.2% and 0.3% IPv6-capable), while Telcel is at 47.2% and AT&T at 19.3%.

For developers
State, city and a fallback
Ask for the state and city, read the exit back, and keep a same-state exit as a fallback, since city placement hit 79% in our test.

https://ipinfo.io/jsonA Mexican quirk
Two new laws and a deadline for every phone line
Mexico rewrote its data-protection and telecom rules in 2025, and in 2026 prepaid phone lines are being tied to their owners’ identity.
New data-protection law
The new LFPDPPP is published in the Diario Oficial and takes effect the next day, replacing the law of 5 July 2010.
New telecom law
The Ley en Materia de Telecomunicaciones y Radiodifusión is published. The Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones (CRT) takes over from the IFT, whose website now calls itself a historical archive.
The CRT publishes market data
Its report for the last quarter of 2025 counts 146,147,478 active mobile lines and 29,301,712 fixed internet accesses.
Rules for linking phone lines
Guidelines tying each mobile line to the holder’s CURP, or RFC for companies, appear in the Diario Oficial, as reported by El Imparcial.
Deadlines by last digit
From 15 August for lines ending in 0 to 31 December for lines ending in 9, according to El Imparcial; lines not linked can be cut back to emergency calls within 72 hours of their deadline.
Data protection and telecom rules in Mexico
The 2025 LFPDPPP governs personal data held by private companies and is enforced by the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno (Art. 2, XV), which took over from the former INAI. Consent is not needed for data in “fuentes de acceso público” (Art. 9, II), but the law defines those as databases the law itself opens to public consultation (Art. 2, X), so a page being public does not make it one. Fines reach 320,000 times the UMA and can double for sensitive data (Art. 59).
The July 2025 telecom law moved regulation to the CRT. According to IDC Online, a draft article that would have let authorities block digital platforms was dropped from the final text. Collect public, logged-out data within each site’s terms, and treat any personal data under the LFPDPPP.

Mexico proxy questions
A proxy whose exit IP is in Mexico, so sites answer as they would a Mexican visitor. It is the way to see Mercado Libre or Amazon.com.mx prices, Spanish-language results on google.com.mx, or ads and pages served to a particular state.
296K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026. The figure moves because home connections come and go. We do not publish a count of Mexican mobile IPs; our October mobile sample came from Altán Redes, Telcel, Movistar and AT&T.
Yes, where available. Add -st-jalisco or another state key and -city-guadalajara or another city key. On 26 October 2026, ipinfo.io placed 22 of 24 state requests and 19 of 24 city requests where asked; most city misses landed in a neighbouring municipality such as Zapopan or Guadalupe.
Mostly the four big home providers. Of the 39 household exits placed in Mexico in our 26 October 2026 sample, 21 were on Telmex, 9 on Totalplay, 5 on Megacable, 3 on izzi and 1 on IENTC. Mexican logins cannot ask for a network by name; look up each exit’s ASN instead.
Residential for marketplace prices, listings and search results. Mobile for the phone experience on carrier networks, $0.50 per GB above residential at every tier. ISP proxies for an address that has to stay the same for weeks; see the order page for availability by country.
Eight of the twelve exits in our October mobile sample were on Altán Redes, two on Telcel and one each on Movistar and AT&T. Altán’s network is almost entirely IPv4 in APNIC’s data (0.2% IPv6-capable), so those exits show an IPv4 address.
No. Mexico City has its own key, -st-mexicocity, and the surrounding State of Mexico is -st-mexico. The metro area spans both, and in our test two State of Mexico requests geolocated to Mexico City, so check the region of the exit when the difference matters.
A proxy is a networking tool; the legal questions are about the data. The 2025 LFPDPPP covers personal data held by private companies, and its public-source exception is narrow. Collect public, logged-out data within each site’s terms. This is not legal advice.
A free proxy is run by someone you cannot identify, and everything you send through it, logins included, passes their server. Test real exits with the free trial instead; the pricing page has the current terms.
Point your browser, extension or code at gate.aeonproxy.com:7000 over HTTP or SOCKS5 and log in as ap_a1b2c3-cc-mx plus any state, city and session keys, with your password. The Python and cURL examples above work as they are; our IP checker shows where the exit landed.
The five exits in the hero above measured 141 to 187 ms of round trip between the exit and Frankfurt, where our gateway runs, on 26 October 2026. Monterrey was the closest and Mérida the farthest.
