The map shows where internet service is available across the country, as <a href="https://help.bdc.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/10467446103579-How-to-Use-the-FCC-s-National-Broadband-Map">reported by providers in the FCC's ongoing Broadband Data Collection</a>. Enter one address and it lists the providers that report fiber there.</p> <p>The map has limits. It shows <a href="https://help.bdc.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/10476040597787-How-to-Submit-an-Availability-Challenge">availability, not network performance, affordability or adoption</a>, so it will not tell you a price or the speed you will get on a busy evening. Choice also changes across town: <a href="https://bouldercolorado.gov/projects/community-broadband-connectivity">some parts of Boulder have more internet choices than others</a>. Use the map to learn who reports fiber at the address, then confirm with that provider. That order works for renters, owners and CU students checking an address before a lease, a move or a switch.</p>
