Devon citizens undergo broadband speed survey
A study to be carried out by Devon Renaissance pertaining to a new survey on broadband speed servicing the region is in place.

The Devon Star also reported that about 25 business –or 1,500 firms - located in the outskirts of the county has been found unable to get broadband services connection. These entities were also urged by the Council to express their opinions about the service provider they have subscribed to, and give out assessment of the effects on the connection to their business operations and growth.
Devon Renaissance general manager Liz Abell shared to the newspaper that now more than ever, the residents and businesses of the county need a reliable broadband connection of they are to be at par with the rest of the country.
As for the survey, Abell said it targets to map broadband speed and reliability all over Devon, which is why they are calling for the entire community to take active part in the survey.
To get involved, Devon residents and business proprietors just need to visit the website and test their broadband speed. There they can find out also whether their location is classified as a “hotspot” or a “notspot”.
