    Starlink claimed areas it doesn't serve; Verizon data undermined by
    network limits.

    By Jon Brodkin

    Multiple Internet service providers have submitted false availability
    data to the federal government for a map that will be used to determine
    which parts of the US get access to a $42.45 billion broadband fund. We
    wrote about Comcast's false coverage claims last week, and this article
    will detail false or at least questionable coverage claims from SpaceX's Starlink division and the wireless home Internet divisions at Verizon
    and T-Mobile.

    Some false claims are easy to prove by looking at the providers'
    availability websites. SpaceX claims to serve virtually the whole US on
    the Federal Communications Commission map, but Starlink's map shows the
    service has a waitlist in huge portions of the country.
