Creating accurate broadband maps is one of the first steps to promoting broadband expansion and technology growth in Minnesota. The Connect Minnesota mapping initiative is working closely with multiple broadband providers from across the state to develop a variety of broadband inventory maps for public use.

These maps, which contain data in beta version, are representative of Minnesota’s broadband infrastructure and highlight where broadband is and is not available.

Connect Minnesota will continue to update and refine these maps as more data are gathered from consumers like you, to most accurately reflect the current broadband landscape. The public plays a key role in verifying the information that is represented on the maps. We encourage Minnesota residents to tell us about your broadband availability by taking this short survey.

To learn more about the maps and our methodology, you may view our FAQ page.

Thank you for taking the time to participate and review the progress.
