County launches internet needs assessment survey and speed testing

The County of San Luis Obispo is on a mission to improve internet services across the county with the launch of an online needs assessment survey and internet speed test. 

The survey, which is part of the countywide Broadband Strategic Plan, is designed to gather community members' feedback on their internet needs and experiences. It is completely confidential, available in both English and Spanish, and takes between 5-15 minutes to complete.

Funded by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) and managed by the Golden State Finance Authority (GSFA), the Broadband Strategic Plan will analyze the benefits and contributions of broadband to local government and local economies, as well as explore policies, programs, and SMART community applications. The project includes outreach to local governments, businesses, residents, educational institutions, and other stakeholders.
