Map Scale

The map allows zooming out to view internet availability and speeds outside of Iowa. However, map hexagons grow to accommodate larger views. Since the availability or speed of service at a single address can dictate the color of its hexagon, national-scale views won’t show the same level of detail as the view of Iowa, and local variations will be smoothed over.

Data Sourcing

Broadband Map's internet availability listings rely heavily on the December 2025 data from the FCC's Broadband Data Collection program (published May 2026, with FCC revisions through July 2026). Availability metrics are likely overestimates.
