Using CostQuest’s core Broadband Serviceable Location data, tied directly to federal broadband initiatives, CostQuest developed the BroadbandFabric Data Suites, which are Geographic Information System (GIS) location data sets that come with insightful data attributes per each location, to provide quality and reliable data to guide analyses and planning activities. CostQuest’s BroadbandFabric data sets are built specifically to support service providers, government entities, engineers, and consultants with broadband deployment, business planning, and policy decisions. Each BroadbandFabric Data Suite comes complete with Broadband Serviceable Location data at the structure (coordinate) level and tied with data attributes such as broadband service (technology) availability, addresses, building type, funding eligibility, cost to serve, competition, demographics, and much MORE to support teams effectively throughout the lifecycle of their broadband initiatives.
CostQuest’s BroadbandFabric Data Suites
Each BroadbandFabric data set comes in an Excel .CSV file format and can be imported into SQL, GIS applications like QGIS, visualization software, network planning tools, or other related applications. Built by broadband experts and blended with machine learning, BroadbandFabric data is the perfect guide for broadband deployment planning and funding distribution decisions. With this data, you can build a broadband map, fill customer database gaps, assess competition, expansion, adoption, funding opportunities, market services, report, plan, and design networks with precise data built to inform these initiatives intelligently.

What data is included in each data set?
All data sets come in an Excel .CSV file format for easy import into SQL, or any major GIS, engineering, or other visualization software. You can purchase data either by state, county, or all of the U.S. In the below table, “x” indicates that the data field is included in that particular data suite package.
Custom data you can add on
After 20+ years of broadband experience and planning, we understand the challenges that come with limited access to quality and granular data. These Data Suites were created with a simple aim – to deliver broadband-specific, precise, and simple data solutions to support various broadband design, deployment, and reporting challenges due to lack of reliable data.
How CostQuest identifies Broadband Serviceable Locations
CostQuest’s Broadband Serviceable Locations are residential, business, CAI, agricultural, and other locations where fixed broadband internet access service is, or can be installed. To identify these structures, see the process pictured below.
