We are making the BQT curated ISP plans datasets publicly available to empower other researchers and policymakers to improve our communal understanding of broadband affordability in the U.S. Due to the proprietary nature of our datasets, we cannot include specific street addresses. Instead, for each queried street address, we only reveal its block group identifier along with the corresponding ISP plans.
If this data supports your work, please cite us using the recommeded citations below — thank you!
