Since June 2022, the Federal Communications Commission has been collecting service availability data from broadband providers, reviewing and validating those data, and publishing the updates to the National Broadband Map. The latest Map was published in May 2025. With six Broadband Data Collections behind the FCC's team, the Map continues to show steady increases in the number of locations where broadband coverage is reported as of December 2024:

  • 110 million homes and small businesses (95 percent) have access to a terrestrial fixed service with speeds of 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) download and 20 Mbps upload (100/20) or greater — nearly a million more locations than the last data collection in June 2024.
  • Nearly 7 million additional locations gained access to fixed service with speeds of 1 Gbps download and 100 Mbps upload (1000/100) or greater in that same time.
  • On the mobile side, 96 percent of homes and small businesses have access to 5G mobile service with speeds of at least 7/1 Mbps, and 92 percent have access to 5G with speeds of 35/3 Mbps or greater.
