City of Greeley and Town of Windsor Residential Broadband Survey

Thank you for your input!

The City of Greeley and Town of Windsor are conducting this survey to receive feedback regarding your broadband service at home. The purpose of the survey is to determine the level of service you currently have at home, how you use the internet, what you currently pay, what your current download and upload speeds are, and what is most important to you in regards to high speed Internet service.
