CostQuest's BroadbandFabric Data - Data Built for Broadband

About the Data

The availability data shown on the map are submitted by ISPs through the FCC's Broadband Data Collection (BDC). As part of the BDC, all ISPs must file data with the FCC twice a year on where they offer mass-market Internet access service using their own broadband network facilities.

ISPs offering broadband Internet to fixed locations (such as homes and small businesses) must report where they offer service on a location-by-location basis - the same location points you see on the map - which come from the Fabric.

All providers must report data as of June 30 (due September 1) and December 31 (due March 1) each year.
