Digital connectivity guides and tools to support residents, businesses, and visitors

The resources include step-by-step guides on checking broadband availability, exploring alternative connectivity options, and optimising your current broadband connection.

Councillor Alan Amos, Cabinet Member for Business and Training, said: "In today's digital world, reliable connectivity is essential for everyone, whether you're working from home, running a business, or staying in touch with family and friends. These guides and tools make it easier for our community to understand, test, and improve their digital connections, ensuring no one is left behind in the digital age."

The 'Broadband Basics' guide helps residents and businesses understand what broadband options are available in their area and how to get connected.

For those who cannot access a standard fixed-line connection or need a different solution, the 'Broadband Alternatives' guide outlines practical options to stay connected.

Meanwhile, the 'Getting the Most Out of Your Broadband' guide provides useful tips for making sure your current connection delivers the best performance possible.

In addition to the guides, the County Council provides two online tools.

The 'Mobile Coverage Checker' is an independent resource for gaining insights into mobile data coverage, while the 'Internet Speed Test' allows users to check their Internet speed in under 30 seconds, with minimal data usage.

The guides and tools are available online, offering simple, practical advice to help the community stay connected and get the most from their digital services.
