Please note that the following preliminary products represent data collected by the NHBMPP as of September 30, 2012. These results display the collection of data the program received through working with broadband service providers, through a community anchor institution inventory, and through survey efforts conducted by the nine regional planning commissions.

State Maps

Broadband Service Availability – displaying broadband service availability by type of technology and speed, aggregated to the census block level.

Community Anchor Institutions – displaying the location and broadband access status of institutions of local/regional significance.

Town Broadband Profiles

The town broadband availability profiles illustrate the broadband technology with the fastest reported download speed for the selected community.  For the purposes of these profiles, satellite coverage is not considered a broadband technology.  Note that all results are displayed at the census block level.

Service Providers

The NHBMPP has identified 63 broadband providers in the state.   As noted above, 40 of these providers actively participated in the program for the Spring 2013 cycle.  This number represents an increase of one provider from our prior submission – a national terrestrial wireless provider was just identified.

 The 40 current participating providers include: 

* Provider confirmed that coverage has not changed since October, 2012.  and therefore did not submit revised data for this round. 
** Provider did not confirm or submit revised data for Spring, 2013 submission.  Data from previous round is  being resubmitted.

The following 21 providers have remained unresponsive to multiple and ongoing requests to participate in the NHBMPP, have indicated that they will not participate or have dropped out of the program after initially providing data.

*** Provider formally indicated that they will not be participating in the program.

The following 2 providers have been identified as providing internet service, but the maximum download and upload speeds they currently offer do not meet the broadband definition.

The 7 providers listed below were identified from analysis of the FCC Form 477 data (filings through February, 2011). The NHBMPP has contacted these providers, but to this date they have either been unresponsive or data has not been received so we cannot confirm their status in NH.

Finally, the NHBMPP identified a number of providers during previous rounds that we no longer maintain on the active list because they have either ceased providing service, have merged with other providers, or were never an active provider in NH. 

The initial master list of providers was extracted from the “New Hampshire Broadband Action Plan”, 2008, NH Telecommunications Advisory Board (TAB) and NH Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED).   This listing was cross-referenced against a statewide cell tower inventory maintained by the NH Office of Energy and Planning.  NHBMPP staff maintains an ongoing effort to identify additional active service providers in the state based on continuing interactions with TAB and DRED, review of speed test results, updated FCC data when published, and other sources as available.

* "broadband" has been defined by the NTIA as a minimum of 768Kbps downstream and 200Kbps upstream.
