(SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) – Residents across Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties are being asked to test their internet speed.  Results from a broadband needs assessment survey and speed test will help identify opportunities to improve internet speed, access and cost.  

The Broadband Consortium of the Pacific Coast has launched a Tri-County internet needs assessment survey and speed test campaign for the public to self-report their internet experience and speed at home, work, or wherever they connect. The campaign is an integral part of an effort funded by the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) to develop a regional approach to identifying gaps in broadband infrastructure and areas of need, accelerate broadband deployment, and catalyze a local response to digital equity issues.
