Published Tuesday, November 22, 2022
The FCC released the new map last week and is encouraging all interested parties, including states, communities, to submit challenges by January 13th, 2023. NTIA also pledged that it will release the State allocations of the broadband funding from the bipartisan infrastructure bill by June 30th. Here’s a video tutorial and more information on how to submit challenges.
Find Out What Internet Services Are Available in Your Area
Search for your address on the map. If you don’t have an address, you can enter a town name and state, or select “Location” underneath the search bar on the home page. The map allows you to pan and zoom to find a particular location.
- Individual location points appear on the map if you search for a location or as you zoom in. These points identify buildings or structures – such as a home, apartment building, or small business – where internet services are, or could be, available.
- The Fixed Broadband Map shows the fiber, cable, DSL, satellite, or fixed wireless internet services available at each home or small business on the map. When you select a point on the map, you can see which providers report offering broadband service at that location, along with the types of service or technologies and the maximum advertised download and upload speeds they offer.
- The Mobile Broadband Map shows the 3G, 4G, and 5G coverage of each mobile provider for the area displayed. The coverage areas represent where mobile users can get a connection when outdoors or in a moving vehicle, but not indoors. The map allows you to compare mobile wireless coverage reported by different mobile providers.
