FCC Form 477 collects information about Internet access connections in service to end-user locations that are advertised to deliver information to and/or from the end user — that is, in at least one direction — at transfer rates ("speeds") above 200 kbps. Information is collected about connections in several sub-groupings ("speed tiers") defined by ranges of upstream speeds and downstream speeds. Connections are further categorized by the technology employed by the part of the connection that terminates at the end-user location.
