Have your say on rural broadband coverage across West Sussex.
The Covid 19 pandemic has seen the demand for digital connectivity rise exponentially as we have lived, worked and schooled from home, this being a particular challenge to many people living and working across rural West Sussex.
We are all very aware of the ‘digital divide’ between urban areas with access to ultra-fast fibre and some rural areas still only accessing low speeds, which can impact on personal lives, business growth and future success, and access to education.
The Rural West Sussex Partnership working in partnership with West Sussex County Council would like to understand your views on the problems and future requirements available to your rural-based business and invite you to take part in a short online survey, which will only take around 5-7 minutes of your time, at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WestSussexRuralBroadband
Your participation in this survey will help West Sussex County Council to better understand the broadband experience of rural businesses and inform future bids for funding, if and when it comes available. We are also looking for some rural based businesses willing to trial alternative technologies that could improve your digital connectivity.
