Broadband map updated reminder

kmax

Might want to check, I was surprised our area was updated already.

kmax The data is as of December 31th, 2024. Are you saying that it updated afterwards? Comcast is only reporting availability data twice a year.

kmax

My area was updated July 8th.

YMMV is going to my guess on how they report.

MacLeech

kmax FCC data is submitted twice a year and maps are updated twice a year. Data is submitted in June, reported in November. Data submitted in December is reported in May.

kmax My area was updated July 8th.

My map shows:

"Data As Of Dec 31, 2024 (latest) (Last Updated: 7 / 8 / 25)

So what was updated on July 8th if the data is only as of December 31st?

telcodad Location/availability challenge data. Really anything pertaining to data not provided by the carriers.

kmax That update is from December 31, 2024, I believe it was released in May or June of this year. So you probably didn’t notice your area was already updated. The Broadband map is almost always 6 months to a year behind. It would be nice if they could update it quarterly.

kmax

I stand corrected. I was going off of latest FCC directives where they basically said live feed updates before final deadlines to provide updates.

FCC Just released June 30, 2025 Broadband map. Still no signs of FDX DOCSIS 4.0 in Stockton CA, still no AT&T Fiber in my neighborhood. Wow even Manteca and Lathrop are starting to get upgraded to FDX DOCSIS 4.0. Looks like Stockton is going to be stuck on Mid-Split for good. https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home

Midsplit coverage is still abysmal here, as expected. We are part of CC’s Beltway Region but most likely come last in any plans.
WV’s final BEAD proposal was just approved by the feds covering 74,000 targeted locations, and Frontier was awarded my entire county. I might actually get fiber before Comcast upgrades these old Magnavox amps and actives. From the maps, it looks like they’ll be covering large swaths of the county, and the previous ARPA funded fiber build ends only a mile from here.

It’s not only the rural parts of the Beltway Region that are still waiting on mid-split. Plenty of neighborhoods in DC don’t have it yet either.

All of us sub-split users are likely in the last 20% to be upgraded. Mid-split deployment will be 70% complete by the end of the year 2025.

35 Mbps upload heading into 2026. Atleast I have been on vCMTS since 2021.

First found about mid-split deployment in May 2022, when a Reddit user in Fort Lauderdale FL (also the first city in FL to get FDX trials) was wondering why they were getting 240 Mbps upload all of a sudden. Well, Comcast was running a mid-split trial.

No sign of mid-split here in western Loudoun, but Verizon is aggressively building out FiOS. Comcast is just sitting there doing nothing while neighborhoods get lit up with fiber service.

We got a new node a few years ago, and our hub site got an addition. Lots of node splits and new fiber work was carried out, but no bump in service level years later.

While I can’t find anyplace in Springfield IL that has mid-split, they’ve had it now for well over a year now, in the village of Chatham that’s 8 miles south of us; most of Chatham also got overbuilt with another FTTH provider. And many parts of Springfield have seen the overbuilding of TWO FTTH providers in many neighborhoods, if not at least 1!

BUT…I guess Comcast decided that instead of trying to stave off even more people dumping them for fiber in Springfield, they decided to put their resources into overbuilding - with HFC no less - at least TWO other small adjacent villages north of us, that the incumbent cable op (CassComm) just finished completely overbuilding their aging coax plant with FTTH; they are shutting down ALL their coax systems when they finish transitioning everyone.

FDX coverage in Seattle is progressing quickly. Although they haven’t started in West Seattle yet, maybe @SeattleMatt73 can provide an update.

Dumaine

satyr Would you mind dropping some knowledge on how you are getting that 2000/2000 speed filter?

hex0101

Dumaine Use the Providers Search functionality instead of Location Search on the Home Page of the FCC Broadband Map
Select Add Provider- Type in Comcast
Select Technology- Cable
Select Search Filters
Set your Speed- 2000/2000, then press enter.

Wow neat. I didn’t know Comcast built FTTH in Morgantown PA. SECV’s FTTH project has been progressing nicely as well.

Good updates.

Wow, that pole is congested with internet providers, wish I had that problem in my area.

cypherstream

bigcoda yeah and originally it was Windstream DSL and SECV. Over covid Windstream overlayed their PON network alongside their old copper telephone lines (formerly D&E… formerly Comestoga telephone).

Comcast’s been overbuilding as much of Pennsylvania as they can get their hands on. 95% of the overbuilding is HFC midsplit node+2. So I was surprised to see small pockets of Comcast fiber, and then verify it with a recent 2025 street view. Further down I can almost make out the Comcast logo on the fiber going into a splice case. Street view imaging has gotten really good over the years.
