Have you heard of the Emergency Broadband Benefit – the federal program that provides a discount on monthly high-speed internet access for eligible households? This class covers what the benefit is, how to determine if you are eligible, which providers in your area are participating, and how to apply. We also teach participants how to upload required income verification documents in a format that will lead to a successful application.

Internet Speed Test
Our Broadband Committee is working very hard to sort through what is required to get broadband in Northport. One very important item is funding. If a town is considered “served”, they have good internet and funding is not available Northport is considered served!! In order to show that we are underserved, or not served at all, PLEASE take the speed test below. We will then submit the results with applications for funding. Also, please spread the word, this is important. The test can be taken at different times of the day and more than once.
