Take The Escambia County Broadband Survey About Your Internet Speed

December 12, 2020

Are you satisfied with your broadband internet service?

Escambia County is performing a a broadband feasibility study. As a part of this effort, the county is asking residents and business owners to participate in a survey that will help collect information about broadband internet access availability.

It’s part of the way Escambia County is working  to find creative ways to meet the community’s broadband internet needs.

A speed test will be performed during the survey. For that reason, the survey needs to be completed while connected to the home or business network associated with your response. Do not take this survey on a cellular phone.

The survey can be accessed by clicking or tapping here.

    In “old” Beulah, Spectrum absolutely stinks. We’ve gone from TCI to Time Warner, To BrightHouse and now Spectrum. Service has degraded worse and worse. I finally dropped my cable TV service to reduce my monthly bill and only have internet and phone. Internet service is on and off and on and off. Day, night, 12pm or 12am doesn’t matter. The people working our area seem helpful but the corporate part is not. Just my opinion.

    Be patient my friends, Starlink is coming soon, through the efforts of Spacex and Elon Musk.

    Have Cox and seems to be down more than up sometimes and told the services would be faster – and paying too dollar but it’s still bad. Conflicts with the fire system and that’s a twice a week ordeal no connection in the middle of the night.

    This survey is really poor written and does not work. It hangs up on several questions and calls them errors when they are not. I really want the county to set up a good internet system, but I hope they don’t use this programmer.

    That’s what happens when they have a monopoly. Gouging and no service. Socialist economy in action. Where is free enterprise and competition?

    Link worked fine for me.

    @B Let me help you gain some clarity. When you subscribe to basic cable you get some channels but if you want the premium channels you have to pay more even though it’s the same service.

    True Cox does charge an arm and a leg (I have top tier speeds costing close to 300.00 a month) because they have no true coemption (if you say at and t i’ll say cloudy day) after all cable companies are a monopoly. However they do offer the fastest most reliable (not very reliable though) speeds in our area.

    I was able to click on the link above that says “The survey can be accessed by clicking or tapping here” (just above comments) and take survey without problems.

    Garbage is the service from Spectrum. What they charge is waaaaaaay too much for the crap service and internet we get. Like farm hill water, when you have a monopoly in an area vs companies like AT&T or a dish you just charge whatever you want!

    How do you get it to work?

    Can’t get into the survey.

    It would be great if the survey actually worked.

    Why? We already know it’s not up to par. We could be a lot more productive if they would stop putting filters on lines where people WORK from home. It’s like having a governor chip on a car but for cable and completely unnecessary, other than if you want to go faster, you have to pay more, for the same service. It’s ridiculous. It’s price gouging on essentials.
