InformationRural Broadband Survey

We ran a survey to understand experiences that businesses, organisations representing residents and Town and Parishes have had with broadband across East Devon. Many have raised concerns about slow, unreliable connections and missed upgrade promises. We wanted to hear how broadband impacts your daily life, work, and wellbeing. Your views will help shape future action on rural connectivity. A consultation summary report is in progress and will outline the key findings from the consultation. This will then be sent to to local MPs and the relevant government ministers. Updates will be shown on this page. 

The survey closed on the 6 June 2025 at 5pm. Keep updated on this page or by scrolling down and clicking the click.
