In February of last year the government launched the nation's first ever national broadband map. Unfortunately, the map was met with significant criticism due the fact the data collected from ISPs drastically overstated speeds, failed to include price, and the map often informed users ISPs serve their area when they don't. While the government insisted the $300 million map would improve given constant updates, the first update to the map since its February launch only just occurred late last year, and most users note the map still suffers from inaccuracy. On the plus side, the government has announced that users can access the map data from mobile devices, making it easier to obtain completely inaccurate information on service providers while you're out on the town.
