Broadband Resources
As broadband goes, Deep East Texas is one of the most under served regions in the nation. Our goal is to change that. We believe that every home and business – not just the ones that are easy and profitable to serve -- should have access to reliable and affordable broadband.
The Deep East Texas Council of Governments (DETCOG) is launching a Broadband Assessment and Action Plan to improve internet access across our region. We invite residents and businesses to participate in a brief online survey to share their broadband needs and experiences. For full project details, event timeline, and updates, please visit the project site at https://arcg.is/0T5Hne.
