Using CostQuest’s core Broadband Serviceable Location data, tied directly to federal initiatives, CostQuest created the BroadbandFabric Data Suites which are Geographic Information System (GIS) location datasets at the coordinate/address-level, that come with insightful broadband-specific data attributes per each location, such as BDC service availability data, addresses, building type, federally funded areas, cost to serve, competition, demographics, and MORE. Built by broadband experts, the BroadbandFabric Data Suites provides service providers, engineers, consultants, and government entities with quality and reliable data they can use to effectively inform broadband deployment, business planning, and policy decisions. Data is available for all U.S. counties, states, and territories.
CostQuest’s BroadbandFabric Data Suites
Each BroadbandFabric dataset comes in an Excel .CSV file format and can be imported into any major GIS application, visualization software, network planning tool, SQL, or other related applications. Built by broadband experts and blended with machine learning, each BroadbandFabric dataset it built to be the perfect guide for broadband deployment planning, policy, regulation, and funding distribution decisions. With this data, you have the option to build a broadband map, fill customer database gaps, assess competition, expansion opportunities, service adoption, federally funded areas, identify cost to serve, fulfill reporting requirements, qualify locations, inform sales and marketing initiatives, network plan, and design networks with precise data built to inform these initiatives intelligently.

What data is included in each dataset?
All datasets come in an Excel .CSV file format for easy import into any major GIS, visualization software, network planning tool, SQL, or related applications. Data is available for every U.S. state, county, and territory. In the below table, “x” indicates which data fields are included in a particular data suite package.
Custom data you can add on
After 20+ years of broadband planning, economic network modeling, and mapping, 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 business planning, broadband deployment, network design, policy, regulation, and reporting challenges due to lack of reliable data.
How CostQuest identifies locations – a.k.a Broadband Serviceable Locations
With over 114 million total locations across the U.S., CostQuest’s Broadband Serviceable Locations are defined as 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.
