| U.S. method of computation | Data is derived from information about Internet access connections in the United States as collected by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Form 477 and published in its Internet Access Services report. For purposes of that report, Internet broadband access connections are those in service, over 200 kilobits per second (kbps) in at least one direction, and reported to the FCC through Form 477. Form 477 collects information about fixed Internet access connections in service to end-user premises that are advertised to deliver information to and/or from the end user – that is, in at least one direction – at transfer rates (speeds) above 200 kilobits per second (kbps). Information is collected about the number of connections by the advertised speeds associated with each product subscribed to in the relevant geographic area (census tracts for fixed). Fixed providers report connections by the maximum advertised upload and download speeds. Fixed connections are further categorized by the technology employed by the part of the connection that terminates at the end-user premises. “End users” are residential, business, institutional, or government entities who use services for their own purposes and who do not resell such services to other entities. Facilities-based providers report information about connections they provide directly to their own end-user customers and also connections that they provide to Internet Service Providers for resale to end users. For Form 477 purposes, the facilities-based provider of a fixed broadband connection is the entity that owns the portion of the physical facility that terminates at the end-user premises and provisions/equips it as broadband, obtains an unbundled network element (UNE), special access line, or other leased facility that terminates at the end-user premises and provisions/equips it as broadband, or provisions/equips broadband over terrestrial wireless spectrum to the end-user premises. The mutually exclusive Form 477 fixed technology categories are: asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (aDSL), symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (sDSL), other copper wireline, cable modem, optical carrier / fiber to the end user, satellite, terrestrial fixed wireless (using licensed or unlicensed spectrum), and all other (which is included to capture deployment of additional technologies over time). In the Form 477 data collection, aDSL-based services delivered over fiber-to-the-node architecture are reported in the aDSL category. The other wireline category comprises T1/DS1, T3/DS3, and other copper-based connections, not elsewhere categorized, that deliver Internet access service at the end-user premises. Ethernet connections delivering Internet access service are reported in the other wireline category if the connection terminates over copper and in the fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) category if the connection terminates over fiber. Connections deployed over hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) architecture are reported in the cable modem category. Wireless ISPs (WISPs) and satellite network operators report in the fixed wireless category.

| Comments and limitations | The FCC collects information about broadband Internet access subscriptions in service that have downstream bandwidths exceeding 200 kbps, rather than 256 kbps. Also, consistent with differences between the North American and European digital hierarchies, the first natural breakpoint in downstream bandwidth in the U.S. data is 1.5 Mbps (that is DS-1) rather than 2 Mbps. Because extensive speed and technology detail has been published, subscriptions/connections for fixed broadband by speed prior to 2012 cannot be made available without potentially revealing individual-company data. The FCC has made a commitment not to reveal individual-company broadband data. |
