Definition
"Broadband availability indicates a geographic area has been wired for service."
"The FCC considers an area “served” by broadband if an internet service provider reports that it has made broadband available to a particular census block, even if service is not necessarily available to every location or dwelling on that block. This is a significant limitation. As the FCC notes, this methodology “could overstate the coverage (availability) experienced by some consumers, especially in large or irregularly-shaped census blocks. However, these data nonetheless remain the best and most granular data available.

* Based on a 25/3 Mbps standard relied on by the Federal Communications Commission.
** The American Community Survey does not survey geographies with populations less than 20,000. Therefore this sample does not include data for Hamilton and Schuyler Counties, where the populations according to the 2010 Census were 4,416 and 17,807, respectively.
