The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently released a preliminary version of its new national broadband map, part of its ongoing effort to make broadband services available to all.
The new interactive map displays specific location-level information about broadband services available throughout the country. Consumers can enter their address to see detailed information about the fixed and mobile services that service providers report as being available at that location and can file challenges directly with the FCC if services are not available as reported.

In addition, the FCC has launched an updated version of the FCC’s Speed Test Application that enables users to compare the actual performance and coverage of their mobile networks with that reported by their service provider. The updated Speed Test App is available through both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
