> Specifically, it shows where customers can expect to receive 4G LTE broadband service at a minimum user download speed of five megabits per second (5 Mbps) and a user upload speed of one megabit per second (1 Mbps)
I feel like this isn't a helpful quotation when I'm obviously saying "Now how do I see where minimum user download speed is 10 Mbps & upload is a minimum 3mbps"? A static map isn't useful for data analysis.
It also doesn't address that geographic maps aren't useful for showing deployment of services for people.
That's a pretty difficult question to answer, and the source data for this map certainly does not contain that information.
To even begin to answer that question, you have to define the problem a little more specifically first:
What does minimum upload/download speed mean? The minimum ever observed? By who? The minimum over a period of time? Through the entire network, or to the tower? Prioritized or deprioritized? Under what testing conditions? Under what usage patterns?
Well the map is generated by a propagation model based on where the towers are, so if anything it should be even easier for them to generate such things than if it was driven by data collection.
