Central Iowa Broadband Survey
Many Iowans have lightning-fast internet service while others wait for files to download. Current maps of service provide an incomplete picture that limits development and funding options. The purpose of the survey is to measure broadband internet availability and identify areas that do not currently meet consumer needs and expectations.
Complete a survey to help us get a better picture – centraliowabroadbandsurvey.com
The Survey is open through Tuesday, April 27, and only takes a few minutes to provide critical information to drive the development of high-speed internet services in our area.
