* This operator reports several technologies to the FCC nationally. The federal data does not break that down by city, so we cannot tell you which one reaches a specific street in Boston. Satellite providers are shown last and marked “nationwide” because they cover essentially every address in the country, so their coverage figure tells you nothing about Boston specifically.

What speeds are available across Massachusetts

This is state-level data, not Boston data. The FCC does not publish speed availability below county level, so we will not pretend to have a figure for Boston. Treat the table below as the backdrop for Massachusetts as a whole.

How to read these numbers

A provider at 90% is a realistic option for almost everyone in Boston. A provider at 5% has built out a handful of streets and possibly including yours, possibly not. Neither figure is a promise, because providers report their own coverage to the FCC and the data is known to overstate it.

If a provider tells you they cannot serve your address, they are right and the map is wrong. We would rather say that plainly than pretend to a precision this data does not have.
