Feedback

 

Connect Ohio relies on citizen feedback to perfect the accuracy of the broadband inventory maps. Please contact us to submit questions or recommendations for coverage area changes. We respond to all inquiries and incorporate relevant information.

This map represents areas of broadband service availability determined by in-depth technical analysis of provider networks and accommodations for the impact of external factors on service quality.  Broadband availability at an exact location, however, cannot be guaranteed as such may be affected by limitations of technical infrastructure, topography, environment and other external factors.

Dialup users: The new interactive mapping application requires a broadband connection to function properly. If you do not have access to a broadband connection elsewhere, please contact Connect Ohio via e-mail or by phoning 1-866-881-9424, so we can provide you with a list of likely broadband providers at your location.

Note: The data used to create the current version of this map is based on information provided by more than 70 participating Ohio broadband providers as of December 4, 2009 and Connect Ohio's 2008 Residential Technology Assessment. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, this map will be periodically updated in compliance with the State Broadband Data and Development grant program with data from additional participating providers and when new service areas are identified.
