Businesses and organizations (Clay-Calhoun-Roane) are being asked to write letters of support for obtaining real broadband service, describing their current service, and all users are being asked to do a speed test to validate where service is poor.

The Clay-Calhoun-Roane Broadband Development Committee is applying for funds to complete a feasibility study to serve all customers desiring high speed internet service.

The Committee is very dedicated to this study and is requesting for residents and businesses in Calhoun, Clay and Roane Counties to email their reasons and concerns about lack of broadband service. Please email your reasons and concerns to ccrbroadbandgroup@gmail.com  or send them to CCR Broadband, c/o Regional Council, 315 D Street, South Charleston, WV 25303.

This speed test information will assist the Committee in obtaining funds to develop this three-county broadband network. Their website is: broadband.wv.gov  

It is important that every county Internet connection do a speed test, write a letter, or make a phone callto help with this ambitious project.
