ATV Route Map
The Public Service Commission is trying to evaluate where there is need for additional broadband connectivity. While the high-resolution maps make it look like Jefferson County is pretty well covered, when you drill down there are a lot of pockets (like my neighborhood) that lack high speed access. The survey assesses how we access the internet and does a speed test. Please visit:
tinyurl.com/wiser2023 or call 608-261-6026. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete.
