Is there a way to search addresses / cities by Fiber connection ? Say I want to move to a city while holding a remote job, I would love to have a fiber connection and I found its really to search by address.


Alas, no such service exists.

Even the FCC can’t get proper broadband coverage data by the zip code, not to mention by address.


Redfin/Zillow/trulia/realtor.com should figure out now to scrape ISP websites and show what type of internet is available for a house.

I had to manually put in addresses when I was searching for a home to make sure it had symmetric fiber.


ISPs would more likely than not take exception to such scraping.

Even if they weren’t reporting accurate data, which they don’t always do.
