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.

We are trying to keep a list of available resources for our residents and will update as we have more information.  We are also adding local businesses that are doing what they can to help.  While we do not recommend one company over another, and due to the constant changes that are happening, we can’t guarantee that this information is current, and ask that you contact the business directly to verify that they are in fact still open and what they are offering.  If you know of any other service that is available, please contact Vicki Eugley by email at [email protected]g and we will do our best to keep our residents informed.
