Broadband User Survey

Connecting Devon and Somerset are carrying out an online survey to help them understand people’s broadband needs and compare whether these needs are being met by the service they receive.

The Broadband User Survey asks questions about current available speeds, what homes or businesses can and cannot do with their existing broadband and the levels of satisfaction with their provider. The survey typically takes about five minutes to complete online and can be found at www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/broadband-user-survey.

Please complete by Sunday 9th December.
