A connectivity Report Card for every listed company

53,310 listed companies scored on measured connectivity at every asset location, 369,074 of them: an exposure level, bucket shares, peer ranks and the three locations that carry the exposure, as downloadable files.

Signal · Hourly measurement at every district the company’s infrastructure sits in, not a speed test someone ran.

Action · Download the scores, then open a company and compare it with a peer.

How local internet speed changes how fast share prices react to news

A study of six years of US latency alongside 1,166 stocks. Where the local internet was slower, prices took measurably longer to absorb news. The effect holds across the whole sample rather than in a few stocks, so it can be used as a factor.

Which listed firms had infrastructure in the districts a blizzard broke

The disaster record said the January 2026 blizzard touched 1,023 measured US districts. Our measurement found only 23 of them actually lost connectivity. Inside those 23 sat infrastructure belonging to 360 listed companies, AT&T to Amazon, and the list existed days before any damage was reported.

Malvar in Batangas, the Philippines: a monthly connectivity index scored against its own normal of 100. The example counts the months that fell below the trigger line, turns them into a loss distribution and prices a premium, the whole chain from measurement to policy.

The Iberian blackout of 28 April 2025, as Lisbon’s internet saw it

When the grid collapsed, the addresses answering in Lisbon halved within a quarter hour, then kept sliding through the afternoon to about a quarter of normal by early evening. Recovery took until around midnight, some thirteen hours in all, with the rows to download.
