The Delaware County Commissioner’s want your help with the state of broadband/internet services. They have launched a survey to help gather information. It takes about 3-5 minutes to complete and should be taken using the internet connection and device that one normally uses (like a laptop, tablet or smartphone). The survey includes taking a “speed test” of one’s connection. When you get to that part, it opens up a new tab where you just need to click on the word “Go” and let it run. When the speed test is completed, it will generate two numbers for you (a download and an upload speed). You’ll go back to the survey tab and enter those numbers into the boxes where prompted. Find the survey here!
