Frequently Asked Questions
How are broadband rankings determined?
Rankings use FCC Broadband Data Collection data, which reports the maximum advertised speed available from any provider in each area. Rankings by speed use the fastest available download or upload. Rankings by competition count the number of distinct ISPs meeting the FCC broadband benchmark. State rankings use average speed across all ZIP codes in the state.
How often are rankings updated?
Rankings are recalculated with each FCC data release, which occurs twice a year. The current data reflects the most recent FCC Broadband Data Collection update.
