Can't report speed inaccuraciesYou can report (with a yes/no link) whether a provider services your location, but there's no way to report that the speeds listed are completely inaccurate. | |
|
| |
Re: Can't report speed inaccuraciesI don't understand how the FCC didn't notice that Telcos provided them with false data. Comcast reported service 20 times faster than is actually available for my area. That's not optimism or reporting on future services. That's lying. | |

Incomplete.And the map is still incomplete. The ISP it shows for my town is wrong and one is missing. It shows that I don't have any type of internet where I live, but here I am with 10Mbps DSL, same goes with my friend that lives north of me in Peculiar, maps shows nothing but he has 1.5Mbps DSL for over 3 years. Where did they get their info from? | |

Re: Incomplete.something sinister happened at the national level. If you view any individual state's broadband map, they are generally accurate. However the SAME data submitted to the national map is wrong/bad. I confirmed this for Arkansas and Oklahoma. I suspect the same thing happened for Missouri and I suspect it had something to do with telco lobbying at the national level. | |

Re: Incomplete.for my area it marks AT&T DSL as having 10-25mbps download and 1.5 - 3 mbps upload. In fact the highest they will provide is 6 download and .75 upload. They get the lobbying benefit of uverse without actually providing it. | |

Re: Incomplete.UVERSE!! How about getting credit for dark VRADS all over the landscape! Lets get credit for UVERSE speeds but not actually hook anyone up. | |

Please email to ask where is the pricing informationI recommend everyone email in and say that you cannot find pricing information on the site where is it - and add some sort of personal comment relating to why you feel pricing data is important.
I see no reason to acknowledge that they might have made a choice to not collect pricing data. | |

Heh..This phenomenal response shows that the investment of time, energy, and not least of all Congressional funds were well worth it ... Or maybe people can't resist a good trainwreck when they encounter one. | |
|
|
UselessI think you need to take whatever speeds they indicate in your area and divide them in half. The first location I tested indicated 3-6Mbps and it isn't even served with broadband....
Not to mention it took forever to load and offers noway to really input data about your specific location. If you want an accurate map why not let us input the tiers/provider available at a specific address to build "real" results?
This map is FUD, how much did we waste on this again? | |

|
google searchRemind me again how many years google had a beta icon on its main search page? | |

utter crap» www.broadbandmap.gov/int ··· 9999999/Frontier may SAY they have 6 mbit but I've never seen it faster than 4 mbit. TWC is not D3 so their 50-100 is bogus. VZ amp shows 15 Mbit DSL but CO only have 7.1 Mbit line cards (well, it did last night when i looked for DSL) | |

samknows?and the point of this was what? since we all so have samknows..
this map shows att with 10-25Mbps here, nope. says verizion and various others are here when there not.
they may be counting wireless in this mess.
i cant wait untill samknows gets there act together and eventually releases REAL data instead of this crap made from what ISP's tell the government to say exists... | |

Re: samknows?heres an idea make a map that has the ceo or chairman of each major ISP required to sign a contract
if a user uses the map to locate services and said services aren't there then have a requirement to offer said services to the location in no more than 30 days or suffer a huge penalty
failure to sign the contract would deny the ISP from any "broadband stimulus" funds and breach of contract to fullfill the stated services with X% growth per year would result if all "broadband stimulus" funds being revoked at a 40% APR and a large fine of no more than the CEO/CFO's pay going to the least served comunity
this would ensure that the map is accurate and any mistakes would be fixed asap as well as ensuring growth in both speed and foot print | |
|
|
Flawed DataThe map only show's what's advertised not what consumers are actually getting... | |
|
|
How do you tell who serves an area?I just took a quick look at the map and may have missed the obvious, but couldn't see how you can tell what isp is serving the area you are looking at on the map.
I also love how 80% of the state of IN is docsis 3, yet none of IL is. Lines cut off at the border it seems. hehehe | |

Maryland/Cecil countyThey have my county at 98% 4megs or better this is total bull shit.The hole lower part of the county on the shore no one has better then 1.5megs and that is in the town of cecilton on lowest level dsl. The cable down here if you get it is still analog. | |
|
| |
Re: Maryland/Cecil countyDefinitely. I'm over at Turkey Point, and they are saying we have DSL. LOL. We have Bay Broadband that can only be reached by 10 houses or something very small. Hoping this does change the current process of those of us that dont live in a metro area being forgotten about. | |

Comcast 1GBPS?I just searched my area, Concord, CA and the map says Comcast offers 1Gbps, but I just talked to a Comcast rep about the 1Gbps and the fastest service they offer is 50Mbps, and when I brought up the Broadband Map and told her about what it says, the rep couldnt give me any information. Sounds like someone lied at Comcast. | |

Easy fix to the telco and cable company lyingIf the national broadband map shows a speed that the telco or cable company is unable to deliver to your home, then that's an automatic un-contestable fine that the carrier has to pay within 10 days.
Let's say 60% to you the whistle-blowing consumer, and 40% to the FCC just to offset the lobbying influence. | |

Re: Easy fix to the telco and cable company lyingSounds like Comcast needs a nice big fine for lying to all of us, and I should get part of it. Not that I want the money, I just want Comcast and all the other big ISPs to follow the rules.
Like that will EVER happen. | |

WTFOk, for me this map is completely useless because the services it says I can get I can't.
But, as I understand it they spent 300 million to make this piece of crap. Well I just did a check of the 2010 census and it said the population of the United States is, 310,866,579. Now figure in most people live in households, on my street for example there are 11 house holds that can't get broadband other than satellite or cellco. If you divide what they spent of this map by the population we would all have gotten like $90,000 each. The cable company only wants 14,000 to expand cable to my house, which would have also covered the the other 11 households on my street. So for what they spent to tell me a I can a service I can't, I and 11 other house holds could have gotten the service for less than what they spent to feel me full of crap. Am I wrong? | |

..My isp is completely missing from the list at my location. It's not a major issue but it seems odd to leave out a muni fiber network on a project like this. | |

Odd map.It shows a very detailed four block area where I live, no businesses, showing Cablevision offering 1 Gbs fiber to the premise. It shows one block in the middle not covered so it purports to be accurate to the block and lot. This four block area is floating all by its self in an area where Cablevision's Lightpath does not come close to.
Funny about five years ago I called Cablevision and asked about fiber to my premise and they said yes if I paid $10,000 for a cable run from the CO to my premise, a run of a little over one mile.
Perhaps the map shows where a provider offered to deploy a service. | |
