The map shows where Northern fiber internet is available and Northern speeds in different areas. When different max speeds are available at different addresses within a hex, color is determined by the fastest speed.
Colored hexagons indicate where Northern services at least one address. Internet service is not necessarily available at every location within a colored hex.
Along with fiber, Northern also offers fixed wireless. See Northern Fixed Wireless Availability.
Zoom out to view Northern Fiber availability and speeds at the national level. However, the map works best when zoomed in, exploring Northern Fiber availability in specific regions.
The availability or speed of service at a single address can dictate the color of the hexagon the address falls within. Accordingly, national-scale views with large hexagons will smooth over local variations in internet availability and speeds.
Broadband Map's information on Northern fiber availability relies heavily on the December 2025 data from the FCC's Broadband Data Collection program (published May 2026, with FCC revisions through July 2026).
