Public Information Session – Broadband Access in the Community Wednesday, November 1st at 6:30pm in the Salem Community Centre

Town of Small Point, Broad Cove, Blackhead, Adam's Cove

Good quality access to broadband (internet/TV/telephone) services is important, particularly for rural areas. However, it can be complicated and the companies that provide the services don’t always excel at explaining your options or supporting you after you have signed up.

This session may be of interest to you if you:

  • are not satisfied with your current services,
  • are having trouble getting access to services or
  • want to know more about broadband.

Mark Ploughman is an engineer with over 30 years of private and public sector experience and was responsible for the provincial Rural Broadband Program in NL from 2012 to 2016. He recently moved to the community and experienced first-hand some of the challenges of getting access.

Topics covered:

  • What are the different types of services?
  • What is or isn’t available in our community?
  • What are your needs and how can you make choices that best match your needs?

The session will be interactive with ample opportunities to ask questions and expand your understanding.
