Caution: Don't take the Broadband Map’s speeds listed for providers at face value. The Map shows the highest download speed offered by each provider to at least one household in a given Census block. Service at that speed, or at any speed at all, is not necessarily available to all households in the same block, let alone the surrounding community. (Back to text)
