why internet service provider coverage works like it does

288 views

why internet service coverage is how it is- i was looking into getting a different internet provider, but what i wanted isnt available for my address. when i checked the coverage map, it shows covered areas surrounding me, but not in my actual area, less then half a mile away from the covered areas. and theres quite a lot covered around me. why does it work like this? (i apologize if this is the incorrect way to post this question, i just want to clarify what i mean)

Providers agree with each other to not overlap their true coverage zones so that they can ensure customers will have to get their service. So thats why many places only have one or two options

Edit: in the US at least. It’s def different in Asia + other parts but I dont know about the EU
