The city of Seattle in _specific_ is an exception. The regulatory agencies in that specific, highly desirable, region had a strong initiative and provided accurate maps of areas of the city served by providers with 21st century gitabit (download) speeds at least the better part of a decade ago. I distinctly recall that at the time I was looking to rent somewhere less pricy and literally crossing outside of the city lines relegated someone to living in 'the internet ghetto' of ADSL at 7mbit down and less than one up if you were lucky, or cable with outrageous rates and gigabit deploying years after it became available in the city of Seattle. There were a couple expensive apartment complexes served by Wave broadband, which had acquired an earlier company, 'condo internet'.
