crtc_service_availability

CRTC Communications Market Report data (Table 9) for British Columbia census subdivisions (municipalities and similar areas), 2016 to 2025: the dwellings counted and, for each fixed-broadband speed marker (1.5+, 5+, 10+, 16+, 25+, 50+, 100+, 150+, 200+ Mbps, Gigabit, 50/10 any plan or unlimited) and mobile technology (any mobile, HSPA+, LTE, LTE-Advanced, 5G NR), the dwellings with that service available, with a computed percentage. Give community (name words at the start of the name, for example Chilliwack or North Vancouver) or csd_id. Without years the latest year is returned; year_from and year_to give a series (one alone is open-ended); speed narrows to one marker. Results are per community and population-centre class (rural, small, medium, large), plus a computed total for the whole community. These are provider-reported availability counts for census subdivisions, not address-level availability, subscriptions, prices or measured speeds, and the CRTC's dictionary does not define this table's columns (see notes). For hexagon-level availability and providers around a point use broadband_availability.

Cost: 2 units of your allowance (see Rate limits).
