Be heard, click the link above. Internet service in our area of Jefferson County is way below the standard set by Connected Nation Ohio initiative. The Connected Community Portal was rolled out in August and is now available for your use. This portal contains broadband surveys that can be taken by county-specific residents and business owners to describe their current broadband situation and needs. The data gathered through these surveys will be helpful in more accurately identifying areas in need of improved service while also giving county and municipality leaders a valuable communication tool for addressing the concerns of their constituents. Connected Nation Ohio also plans to use this data to further refine our coverage maps which are currently being updated for year-end release.
