Please help us create the Broadband network the Tahoe Basin needs to prosper!
The Tahoe Prosperity Center is continuously conducting speed tests to determine Tahoe’s biggest gaps in high-speed internet service, and we need your help! The more tests local residents do, the more we can understand which neighborhoods and communities need assistance. Try to do speed tests during different times of the day so that we can get a full understanding of what your speeds are on average – it only takes a minute. Run your speed test now by clicking on the “GO” button below.
