Description: The ‘Derbyshire Broadband Survey’ is designed to give everyone living and working in Derbyshire a chance to share their internet experience. Derbyshire County Council is working with a number of national telecommunications providers to determine local demand in Derbyshire for super fast broadband services (ie faster than 20Mbits per second). Across Derbyshire there are people who can not receive a broadband service or if they can the service is patchy. In order to help us identify where the telecommunications provision is weakest, we are undertaking a survey to gauge local demand and clarify where internet services are currently slow or even unacceptable. It is important that we for hear from both residents and businesses, we would appreciate you spending five minutes to complete the survey. Information gathered will be collated to help assess the extent of the problem across the county and work out aggregated demand for broadband services in any particular area.
