Take the Broadband Census!
The FCC won't collect or disseminate broadband availability data that bears any resemblance to what actually seems to be happening, so ace telecom reporter Drew Clark has put an broadbandcensus.com together so we can do it ourselves.
Go to broadbandcensus.com and fill out the simple form about what kind of broadband service you have. Together we can do what the FCC won't.
Most of the features on this Web site aren't fleshed out yet. It needs a few thousand of us to tell it what we know. And it needs a bit more work by its founders too. But DON'T LET THIS STOP YOU from entering the info about your broadband service. Together we can . . .

Dave,
Thanks for your post! Just this morning, we've now added the ability for any user to Take the Broadband Census, and to link their ZIP+4 code to any of 1,527 carriers that the FCC says are offering broadband in the United States.
You can take the Census directly at http://broadbandcensus.com/census/form, or view more about your ZIP code directly at BroadbandCensus.com.
We look forward to adding new features. What do you think is most necessary to add? If you have some comments, please feel free to e-mail me: drew at broadbandcensus.com
