After defending false data, Comcast admits another FCC broadband map mistake
There's a national (fiber) ISP that claims -- according to the FCC broadband map -- to provide 1000/1000 to my entire village. According to their own website, the closest address they service is about 25 miles away.I submitted an FCC challenge about 2 months ago, and just today received notice "provider subject to your challenge has conceded the challenge and is required to submit a correction for the challenged location in the online portal within 30 days".I am curious what benefit a provider receives from feeding this false information to the FCC? Is it funding (grants, etc.) related? It will also be interesting to see if the updated data will only reflect for my specific address, or if it will also apply to other areas around me that aren't serviced by the provider.If it's the former, I will be submitting more challenges.
