Broadband for Argyll

Broadband for Argyll is an ongoing online survey and information service to measure Argyll’s internet connectivity. Despite the enablement of all Argyll’s exchanges, and despite recently touted improvements in ADSL technology, and despite the Government’s last mile procurement, many are still either dissatisfied with their connection or simply do not believe the publically produced statistics. This is your opportunity to input into a project which may give Argyll ammunition with which to argue for a better service.

The following links will guide you through the service as well as provide more in-depth information (links which are not active, and are asterisked, represent a part of the website which is still being developed):
