This site covers three things and tries not to cover anything else: the plant that runs to the house, the interconnects above it where networks hand traffic to each other, and the federal record of who has what. Those three layers explain most arguments about American broadband, and they are usually discussed separately.
The writing is technical and plain. Where a number appears it carries its source and its year in the same sentence, because the useful thing about the coverage debate is that two credible instruments can measure the same country and disagree by a hundred and thirty million people. We name operators and networks factually, as the owners of specific plant. We do not recommend one, and we do not review them.
How it is organised
Four sections, thirteen pieces. The sections follow the physical order of the thing being described rather than the order the industry argues about it: the record first, because everything downstream is funded from it; then the last mile; then the middle mile; then the towns that decided to build their own.
Every piece is reachable from the header without a menu opening, and the complete list sits on one page. Nothing on this site is behind a form.
