This is a follow up with information from the Town Hall Broadband Meeting at the
Giddy Up Coffee Shop in Folsom on Thursday, March 23, 2023.
Many of us who anxiously await broadband connectivity met with internet service providers to get answers on timelines for our areas. AT&T and Charter heard our concerns and felt our urgency.
Our patience is being tried for installations promised using the funds from Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) and the funds granted through the GUMBO grants (LA Office of Broadband).
I believe they better understand our frustration and that they heard us but we must continue to make them aware. Reach out to AT &T and Charter at the links below and as the Internet providers give mandatory updates to the Public Service Commission I will share that info on my website, Facebook and in email news.
Please let me know if you are aware of an update or progress in your area and I will share it that as well. God bless you and let's keep pushing until we get it done.
