Local leaders are encouraging residents of northeastern Utah to help expand high speed internet access to the area. The Utah Internet Speed Test Campaign is asking all Utahns to report their internet speed at work, home, and wherever they connect to broadband. This will reveal the areas of Utah that lack high-speed internet and direct funding to ensure there is reliable broadband access throughout the state. The speed test only takes 60 seconds and can be done by visiting www.speedtest.utah.gov. Those who do not have access to the internet are asked to call the campaign’s hotline at 435-264-8880. Vernal City is encouraging Vernal citizens to participate because at least 259 more speed tests are needed by Friday, April 28th in order to qualify.
