WILTSHIRE Council is asking residents to complete an online survey to establish the real speed of their broadband connection.
Previous research has shown that broadband provision varies across the county and the survey is part of a broader study designed to give the most comprehensive and detailed picture yet of broadband speeds and provision in the towns, villages and rural areas of Wiltshire.
The results will be used on a national level to ensure Wiltshire is well represented in two government projects looking at medium and long-term broadband provision across the country.
John Brady, the council’s cabinet member for economic development, planning and housing said: “Wiltshire covers a large geographic area and it is very important for the economic success of the county that all residents have access to broadband services.
“This is an important piece of research that will be used to secure the digital future of Wiltshire.”
