Broadband Access Map

Do you work from home? Avid Streamer/gamer/wifi user? Then you are gonna wanna know what service providers are available for broadband internet in the areas you are looking to move. Some could argue that you can get internet anywhere with Starlink and other Viasatt I am going to push back by saying all it takes is a really cloudy day and you are off the clock and a week of really cloudy days and the boss may give you an ultimatum.

The website https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/ is an online tool developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that provides information on the availability of broadband Internet access across the country. The earliest version of the map was launched in 2011, as part of the National Broadband Map initiative that was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The website allows users to search for broadband providers in a specific location, view coverage maps, and compare broadband options based on speed and other factors. Users can also access data on the quality and speed of broadband service in their area, as well as information on the types of technologies used to provide broadband, such as DSL, cable, fiber, and wireless.

The purpose of the website is to help consumers, policymakers, and researchers make informed decisions about broadband access and deployment. It also serves as a valuable tool for broadband providers to identify areas where there is a need for additional infrastructure investment and expansion of services.
