Help DPI Improve Internet Connection Quality For Students
Do you want better home internet service? The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is working on it - with their partners at Measurement Lab - and you can help. Three clicks, no questions. It’s that easy.

Internet connection quality is a priority to make sure Wisconsin students can equitably participate in online and blended learning. This data will give the Governor’s Task Force on Broadband Access and other broadband task force groups the information they need to target improvements where internet performance is poor.
