The availability data displayed on the map is provided by ISPs through the FCC's Broadband Data Collection (BDC). As part of the BDC, all ISPs are required to submit data twice a year to the FCC regarding where they use their broadband network equipment to provide mass-market Internet access services.
ISPs that provide broadband internet in fixed locations (such as homes and small businesses) should report by location the locations they serve (the same locations shown on the map) .
Mobile operators use propagation modeling to generate 3G, 4G LTE and 5G NR coverage areas displayed on maps. The model incorporates certain common settings for consistency. A coverage area is intended to represent an area where a user can establish a mobile connection outdoors or in a vehicle and achieve specified upload and download speeds. Please note that the map does not include information about indoor mobile wireless broadband service availability. Coverage maps are based on propagation modeling, so the actual onsite experience may vary depending on factors such as end-user devices used to connect to the network, cell site capacity, terrain, and other factors. The wireless service provider's coverage map on his website may be based on other parameters and assumptions such as: B. Availability of services provided by roaming agreements. Therefore, it may differ from the information shown here.
