An Internet survey is available for residents in the area to provide feedback and information about the level of services currently available, how the Internet is currently being used by residents and what is most important to community members in regards to high-speed Internet services. The survey can be found online at www.centralsierrabroadband.com; and all residents are urged to participate and provide their input. Preliminary findings from the Internet survey suggest existing services are lacking in both reliability and speeds. Many respondents have stated lack of broadband availability has impacted their ability to attend classes or to work from home.
In addition to the Internet survey, the group is seeking further input from community members through a webinar forum. Citizens are encouraged to participate in this process by discussing their current broadband services and needs. Webinars are planned for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and noon Thursday.
Participants are required to register prior to the scheduled webinars. To register, go to www.centralsierrabroadband.com and select the webinar for your participation. For more information, visit www.NEOconnect.us .
