List FCC broadband availability for a location
broadband_availabilityFixed broadband availability for a US location from the FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC), counted per 2020 Census block: each provider and technology the FCC data lists in the block, with advertised maximum download and upload tiers in Mbps and how many of the block's locations each covers (residential and business-only counts). FCC data as of 2025-12-31 (release D25_19oct2026). Wired and fixed wireless service comes first; satellite service is listed last, in its own section. Where a point is in no Census block with FCC data, counts are for the surrounding H3 cell. A block where the FCC records no locations (often a park, a plaza or a street) lists no providers; the building's own address finds the block it sits in. Speeds are advertised maximums reported by providers, not measured speeds. The FCC data has no street addresses, so it cannot confirm service at one house. Input is either a street address (geocoded by the US Census geocoder) or lat/lon coordinates.
