About this section

The federal broadband map lists this address as served with gigabit fiber. Four providers have now said no. Wes Calderón works remotely from a county of fewer than 10,000 people, filed his own availability challenge to get the record corrected, and learned the procedure by doing it. He is not a network engineer and sells nothing: the evidence here is a year of speed and latency logs, scanned bills, and the rule or filing page each claim comes from.
