Is broadband available near you? This updated FCC map can tell you. Maybe.
February 2, 2023/

The Federal Communications Commission has finally given its broadband map a needed upgrade, but bug fixes are still coming for that agency’s cartography of connectivity.
The new map, introduced in draft form in November, resembles the old one in that it invites you to enter an address or zoom to an area and then lists internet providers offering service there.
But the previous version relied on provider-submitted data and treated an assertion of service anywhere in a census block as evidence of coverage throughout an area that could span blocks or square miles, depending on population density.
