How this works: where the results come from
Where these results come from
Every provider that sells fixed internet in the United States has to report to the FCC where it could install service, twice a year, location by location. That dataset is called the Broadband Data Collection, and it is the basis for everything on this page. We do not ask providers what they would like to tell you about their coverage; we read what they were required to file.
That choice has consequences you will notice. The rankings here sometimes disagree with a provider’s own availability checker, and they sometimes include a regional company you have never heard of ahead of a national brand. Both of those are the data working as intended.
What “available” does and does not mean
The reporting standard is whether a provider could begin service at a location within ten business days of a request. It is a statement about capability, not about connection. Nobody in the dataset is necessarily a customer, and the advertised speed is a maximum rather than a promise.
This is why the last step of buying internet is always a conversation with the provider. What this page does is narrow that conversation from thirty companies to the two or three that plausibly reach you, and tell you what technology each would be selling. Going in knowing whether you are being offered fiber, cable, fixed wireless or DSL is most of the battle.
Why technology matters more than brand
The same company often sells two completely different products in the same city. CenturyLink is the clearest example — fiber on some streets, decades-old copper on others, under one name and largely one set of reviews. A recommendation attached to the brand rather than the line is close to useless.
So we group coverage by technology as well as by provider. Fiber gives you symmetrical upload speeds and steady latency. Cable gives you fast downloads and much slower uploads. Fixed wireless and 5G home internet need no wiring but share capacity with the network around them. Satellite reaches everywhere and is the choice of last resort. Knowing which one is on offer tells you more than any star rating.
Common questions
Why does this ask for a ZIP code and not a street address?
A ZIP gives us the coverage picture for your immediate area from federal filings, which is enough to tell you which providers are worth contacting. Only the provider can confirm the individual line to your door, so the last step always happens with them. We would rather show you an honest area picture than pretend to a certainty nobody has.
What does “available” actually mean here?
It means a provider has told the FCC it could install service at that location within ten business days. It does not mean anyone is connected there, and it does not guarantee the speed you see advertised. It is a claim made under a federal reporting obligation, which makes it far more reliable than marketing copy and still worth verifying before you buy.
Why do providers say I can get service when I cannot?
Reporting is done at a granular level but not house by house, and construction records lag reality in both directions. A provider may have filed for your block before finishing the last stretch of it. This is the single most common gap between the data and the doorstep, and it is why we always send you to confirm.
Is satellite counted as available everywhere?
Effectively yes, and that distorts headline coverage numbers badly. Satellite reaches almost every address in the country, so any measure of total availability looks close to complete. We separate satellite from wired and fixed-wireless coverage for exactly that reason, because a town with only satellite is not a town with choice.
How current is the data?
The figures come from the FCC Broadband Data Collection as of Dec 31, 2025. Providers file twice a year, so coverage on newly built fiber can be a few months ahead of the dataset. Where a provider has just finished building on your street, they will know before we do.
