# Why a ZIP code cannot guarantee internet service

BroadConnectNow editorial guide.

## Postal boundaries are not networks

A ZIP is designed for mail routing. Provider infrastructure can stop mid-street or differ by building.

## Technology can vary

One neighborhood may have fiber while another part of the same ZIP only has cable, fixed wireless, or satellite.

## Verify the complete address

Use ZIP results for discovery, then confirm the complete service location before relying on price or installation timing.
