A ZIP-code checker for broadband features that matter when running servers and other services from home.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The checker classifies broadband against hosting-relevant conditions rather than treating download speed as the main metric. Its criteria include CGNAT, public IPv4, port forwarding, IPv6, upload performance, bridge mode, and contract language about server use. Coverage is being assembled through selected metro research zones, with Houston listed first and Chicago, Philadelphia / South Jersey, Atlanta, and Tampa Bay also named. The page distinguishes provider records matched to a ZIP from broader metro research and national guidance.
