Metro Fiber Maps: Chicago Metro Area

A collection of metro fiber maps for the Chicago metropolitan area, which gets its own page due to its status as a major internet hub.  Actually though, there aren’t that many public maps out there for the region – at least that I have found so far.  I know there’s a Level 3 map out there somewhere, but I haven’t found it yet.

All links are to material offered on the websites of the company operating the fiber, I do not usually host them locally and generally will not link to third party maps – not that there are many of those.  Where available, links to on-net building lists are also given.

Additional maps of metro fiber networks that ought to be on this list are very welcome, as are corrections to the above links.  Please just leave a comment below or send an email to info@telecomramblings.com.
