Slow Internet? We need your help to speed things up in Georgina!

Canada's telecom regulator (CRTC) recently declared that high-speed internet is now a basic service, just like a current landline. The issue in Georgina is that large pockets of land (mainly in rural areas) don't currently have access to high-speed internet. Some areas don't have access to the internet at all.  That's why we are participating with the Regional Municipality of York on trying to access federal grant money to build more high-speed internet infrastructure throughout York Region.  We need your help! Here's how you can assist us:

1)  Take the Speed Test: speedtest.net

Press the "Begin Test button and wait for the speed information to display. The display will show your upload and download rates. Once you obtain your results, please submit them in our Survey listed in Step 2.

Caution: speedtest.net is a third partied website. Only click the "Begin Test" icon. Please ignore any pop up ads, etc.

2) Submit your results and complete the Town's Survey: surveymonkey.com/r/BSSLSRP

If you do not have access to internet services at your home or business, we need to hear from you. Please leave us a message stating your name, address and that no internet service is available in your area by calling Sean Columbus at 905 -476-4301 ext. 2330 .

The deadline to complete the survey or to provide your feedback is Friday, March 10.
