Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

GetConnectedLA ("the site") is operated by Parity Platforms LLC ("we", "us"). By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What this site does

GetConnectedLA provides broadband availability information, provider comparisons, and community-level connectivity data for Louisiana. Our data comes from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, the U.S. Census Bureau, and other publicly available federal and state sources.

Data accuracy disclaimer

We work to keep our data accurate, but broadband coverage changes frequently and we cannot guarantee that every data point is current. Specifically:

  • Connect Scores are our own composite metric based on publicly available data. They are estimates, not official government ratings. Different methodologies would produce different scores.
  • Provider coverage is based on FCC Broadband Data Collection reports. Providers self-report this data to the FCC. We do not independently verify coverage at every location.
  • Speed data reflects maximum advertised speeds, not guaranteed performance. Actual speeds depend on your equipment, plan, and network conditions.
  • Eligibility quiz results are estimates based on the 2026 Federal Poverty Guidelines. Final Lifeline eligibility is determined by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and your service provider, not by this site.
  • Grant data reflects publicly announced awards and may not include the most recent updates. Check with ConnectLA or individual providers for the latest status.

Not affiliated with government agencies

GetConnectedLA is an independent resource. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the State of Louisiana, ConnectLA, the FCC, USAC, the Lifeline program, or any internet service provider. References to government programs and agencies are for informational purposes only.

Affiliate disclosure

Parity Platforms LLC is not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site, including but not limited to: decisions made based on our data, coverage information that turns out to be inaccurate, or eligibility determinations based on our quiz results.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of this site is limited to $0. This site is free to use and we do not charge for access to any information.
