Dear Tahsis Resident,

 

Thank you for participating in the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) Internet Speed Test Survey earlier this year. The survey results helped validate the actual internet speeds SRD residents are experiencing in rural and remote areas. With the data, we continue to advocate to obtain funding for last mile solutions for the Connected Coast communities. See recent  Provincial announcement – here >.

 

Many smaller communities in BC are experiencing similar internet funding challenges and there is now a provincial study to help identify and quantify areas in BC where there is a discrepancy between the internet service experienced by residents and the federal data. The SRD is participating in this study and are encouraging residents and businesses to participate by completing multiple internet speed tests through the CIRA Speed Test. Internet users are encouraged to take multiple tests at different times throughout the day. The more tests completed, the more robust the data the researchers will have. This is important for communities like yours where the Federal ISED map indicates your community is being served with minimum internet speeds of 50/10Mbps. Federal funding for last mile connections is tied to the Federal ISED map. To enable a last mile connection from the Connected Coast high speed infrastructure to your home, funding is required.

 

This provincial study is using the same CIRA Speed Tests used in the SRD Internet Speed Test Survey. 
Please complete the CIRA Speed Test above multiple times over the next few weeks.
