Broadband data and where it can be found
The FCC uses the H3 hexagonal indexing system to aggregate spatial data from its Broadband Data Collection (BDC) program and make it available for public use. H3 hexagons can be tricky to track down or create from scratch, so we've prepared data downloads for the whole country, as well as individual states.
All of the hexagons below are resolution 8. This is the cell size used in the public BDC data downloads.
