This web mapping app mashups two datasets and summarizes fixed broadband speed test results in 2019-2022 within rural service areas.
Queries can run for a State where providers' headquarter address.
The dataset for speed tests is as layer service provided by Ookla Speedtest for the Global Broadband Performance
published in ArcGIS Living Atlas under the Esri Master Licence Agreement. Download speed, upload speed, and latency are collected via the Speedtest
by Ookla applications for Android and iOS and averaged for each tile. Measurements are filtered to results containing GPS-quality location accuracy.
The second data source is the Membership Map of NTCA - Rural Broadband Association for rural services areas and respective service providers as published
on the
web page. The rural service areas are for informational purposes only,
and there is no definitive correlation between the speed test results and the representative service providers within these areas. The map only aims to anonymously
show actual speed test results in rural areas without any interrelation with any provider.
This map is for non-commercial usage only.
