   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.
