If you authorize me to request broadband service at your house, I will check the FCC’s map (https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/ https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/) for you

If you authorize me to request broadband service at your house, I will check the FCC’s map (https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/ https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/) for you and challenge any incorrect information that I can find. But if you care enough to agree to that, why wouldn’t you just do it yourself? The real problem is that only a fraction of the population knows about the map and knows that they can challenge incorrect information on it, so only a few addresses in any given area will ever be corrected.

- db48x 4y agoConsidering the effort is de minimis, and the net time saved is nil, this isn’t a thing that will ever happen. If you want to take the time to make a website to advertise the FCC’s website, and to convince people to go check the data, don’t let me stop you. I just don’t see it as needing a technical solution. It needs a people solution instead. Or a budget solution.
