More than 2,200 Augusta County residents and businesses have completed a survey of broadband Internet availability in the county.
The deadline to complete the survey is Friday, June 10, so there is still time to weigh in on your need for reliable high speed internet.
The results will be the foundation for a plan to market to area providers. Remember, completed surveys qualify for raffle prizes.
