Increased streaming, gaming, video conferencing, work-from-home jobs, and online learning, has revealed substantial gaps in the broadband footprint. And that appetite for bandwidth has grown beyond all expectations — and at a speed that few if any anticipated yielding growing pains as networks face fluctuating bandwidth usage and unexpected surges that strain their capacities.

All signs indicate that bandwidth needs are only going up from here — and fast. This is especially relevant for utilities and WISPs, where emerging trends and new broadband funding will impact regional network infrastructure this year.

Help us understand network priorities in your area

The past year has seen more than a 30% increase in residential bandwidth demand, and even more in rural areas, which poses both challenges and opportunities for utilities and wireless internet services providers. Key network components are affected by shifts and surges in demand, and both the scale and performance of the underlying infrastructure is of paramount importance.

Given that bandwidth is changing across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, those considering offering or expanding broadband services must consider all aspects of the network. To help you better prepare, we’re creating a new report on the state of bandwidth and network today. Please share your insights and priorities by answering a few questions.
