The Federal Communications Commission recently released new broadband maps that will be used to determine the amount of funding Ohio will receive to expand broadband access throughout the state via BEAD (the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program).
To improve the maps and ensure Ohio receives as much support as possible, we need your help!
By Jan. 13, 2023, we need as many Ohioans as possible to check the federal maps, and if there is an inconsistency about their local internet availability, submit supporting information online.
1. Search for your address at: broadbandmap.fcc.gov
2. Click on the settings “gear” and make sure “All Wired and Licensed Fixed Wireless” is selected under technology.
3. Check to ensure the location status is correct. If not, click “Location Change”.
4. Check to see if the list is accurate for the listed service providers. Can they actually deliver internet at the speeds listed in the table? If not, click “Availability Change”.
