Faster broadband supports our businesses to be more competitive and helps communities’ access services, saving them money, information and learning opportunities.

Our aim is to have:

  • Improved broadband (>2 Mbps) to every business and community across Devon and Somerset by 2015
  • Superfast broadband (>24 Mbps) to at least 85% of the area by 2015, with 100% by 2020

Our next step is to secure investment from the private sector to install the broadband and to do that we need your help.  We need to show there is strong demand for faster broadband and show what current speeds and coverage we have in the area.

To do this we need you to fill in a simple survey and tell us what your current speed is.

This helps us build a picture for our supplier of where the worst areas are and what the demand is for better broadband in those areas. If we don’t know what you want we can’t help you get the right broadband. If you cannot complete the survey online then call the Survey Hotline on 0844 4636887 to register (charged at local rate – 5p/minute). The survey is live until at least August, but do not delay!
