How We Rank Providers & Where the Data Comes From

Provider names and sampled advertised technology and speed evidence on this page come from the FCC National Broadband Map and the FCC Broadband Data Collection (June 2025), sampled at H3 grid-cell granularity. ZIP results are shortlist evidence, not address-level serviceability. National catalog plans are excluded until market eligibility is proven. Confirm service, the current offer, and installation terms at the exact address. See our full ranking methodology.
