Welcome to Connected Tennessee’s online, interactive Broadband Inventory Map for the State of Tennessee. BroadbandStat is an interactive web mapping application designed to let users explore Tennessee's broadband coverage. In addition, users will soon be able to use BroadbandStat to access the latest research about broadband adoption barriers in every county. BroadbandStat provides a multi-functional, user-friendly way for local leaders, policymakers, consumers, and technology providers to devise a plan for the expansion and adoption of broadband.

BroadbandStat is unique because it allows users to build and evaluate broadband expansion scenarios using a wealth of data, including education and population demographics, current broadband availability, and research about the barriers to adoption. The tool also provides an instant feedback mechanism for consumers to validate broadband data electronically or via phone.

The data contained within this map are currently in beta version. The map will continuously improve in accuracy as the data are validated through public feedback, field verification, and the participation of more service providers.

Feedback

Connected Tennessee relies on citizen feedback to perfect the accuracy of the broadband inventory maps. We strongly encourage the public to help us in the validation process. Please use the feedback button to submit questions or recommendations for coverage area changes. We respond to all inquiries and incorporate relevant information. You may also view our FAQ page to learn more about the maps and our methodology.

In addition, you may request the non-confidential data displayed in the maps. To request this data, please fill out the mapping data request form.

Please Note: The data contained in this map are currently in beta version and will be updated as we receive public feedback and more provider data. The data used to create the current version of this map is based on information as of March 31, 2010 provided by 65 Tennessee high-speed Internet providers servicing approximately 2,060,000 households – 92% of the total number of households in the state. This analysis is conducted through a geoprocessing tool that analyzes Census Block demographics with the aggregated broadband service overlay from the provider data. For more information about the methodology, please click here.

Providers: As part of the State Broadband Data and Development grant program, this map will be periodically updated with data from additional participating providers and when new service areas are identified. Connect South Carolina wants to encourage all providers to participate. There is an informational page on the website for broadband providers.

The link below contains a very large amount of data, and a broadband connection is recommended for viewing. If a broadband connection is not available, PDF and JPEG images of the statewide broadband maps are available here. County maps in PDF format are available here.
