The e-NC Authority GIS-based Internet mapping application enables you to view the location of available high-speed Internet access and other telecommunication services in North Carolina. This is a stand-alone application that uses ESRI's ArcIMS map server software, but much of the data that can be displayed in this mapping application originates from our Service Provider Update (SPU) application.
SPU is a relational database and online editing application that allows telecommunications service providers in North Carolina to log in and add or update information about the types of services they offer and the location of those services. This database is not accessible by the general public, but a subset (non-sensitive information) of this database is exported on a nightly basis and joined to the various GIS layers contained in this mapping application.
Broadband service percentages presented were derived from e-NC’s analysis of data from providers, census tract data, cable and DSL service areas, and interpolation of all such data. Composite percentages are not averages of Broadband service providers' percentages. Composite percentages are affected by overlapping service areas, population and housing reporting data, geographical variations and other variables.
If DSL information for your area has been declared proprietary, please visit the provider's website. Many providers offer a tool for you to enter your address to determine if they can provide DSL service to you. Questions about the GIS Mapping Application? Contact us at: info@e-nc.org .
