In Wisconsin we have this map that I used heavily when searching for new apartments and house shopping. It has the ability to filter by wireline vs wireless and satellite, which is nice.

I wish datasets like this were more integrated into Zillow and friends; being able to see at a glance what the neighborhood is wired for would be quite nice.

Often a few blocks can be the difference between DSL and gig fiber.

Starlink was a game-changer for me in the situation you described.
