  re your two comments. We're already chatting with USDA. The geographic resolution isn't as good as it should be. Ultimately we need it to the block group, which means a crowdsource app has to be run in every block group. We have an app for that. :) Also, I was killing too many browsers, so I made the Select the state version and routed everything to that. It's about 350 million samples from the U.S. and Canada. I should calculate error margins for each city... maybe tomorrow.

  It's a space between US and underserved. It's a really massive file and will crash most browsers. http://expressoptimizer.net/projects/Demos/US%20underserved.html

  A more browser friendly version uglier work in progress (missing population and household data and no shapefile content) is here: http://expressoptimizer.net/projects/Demos/USMLAB.html

  The real point of this is irrespective of FCC 477 data, 41% of all speed tests done in the U.S. and Canada show download speeds less than 25 mbps and the actual service providers rarely match the FCC data.

  The link in my original post is now working. the link should be "http://expressoptimizer.net/projects/Demos/US underserved.html" but the message board software stopped at the "space" Sorry.

  Getting an accurate broadband map isn't too difficult

  Here's a prototype we did: It's a 100 mb download map, it works in Chrome and Edge browsers, but most other browsers will choke. It takes about a minute to open, depending on your CPU speed.

  Move your mouse over your favorite cities to see what services are real.
