    After defending false data, Comcast admits another FCC broadband map
    mistake

    Comcast could have avoided giving false data to FCC by checking its
    own website.

    Comcast has fessed up to another mistake on the national broadband map
    after previously insisting that false data it gave the Federal
    Communications Commission was actually correct.

    Our report on February 9 showed that when residents in two Colorado
    cities objected to Comcast's coverage claims through the FCC challenge
    system, the company disputed those challenges even though it was
    impossible to order Comcast Internet service at the challenged
    addresses. As we previously wrote, Comcast only admitted to the FCC
    that it submitted false data in Arvada, Colorado, one day after we
    contacted the company's public relations department.
