The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) is seeking input from residents about access to broadband services.
Broadband services have expanded significantly since the COVID pandemic began. Programs such as ABC were one of others to be implemented to give people better access to the internet for learning and other functions.
According to a press release from ADECA, underserved areas of Alabama receive less than the federal definition of 25 megabits per seconds for broadband service.
Input from Alabamians could impact "service gaps" in internet services.
“The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on the importance of having access to high-speed internet across the Alabama,” said ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell. “Taking this speed survey will help us gather the data we need to map and plan our efforts to help close those service gaps.”
A survey is available online at alabama.speedsurvey.org.
