Connected Nation Ohio Community Technology Assessment
Residential Broadband and Technology (High Speed Internet) Survey
Residential Broadband and Technology (High Speed Internet) Survey
In an effort to improve broadband (high speed internet) access, adoption, and use, our community is participating in Connected Nation Ohio's "Connected Community" program. This project will assess the current status of broadband access, adoption, and use in our area so we can develop a plan to improve the quality of life and economic potential in our community.
Your answers to the following questions are critical and will be combined with others to identify the current need for improved internet access and support in our community and across the state. This information will then be used to develop the most effective action plans with local broadband providers and other contributing organizations to improve technology and internet service and support in our community.
Please answer the following questions for only one address where you have a residence (either owned or rented). Survey respondents should be at least 18 years of age and be the primary or a co-decision maker for the household. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Surveys must be completed by November 20, 2019.
