City of Dallas addresses digital divide with new Dallas Speed Survey

The City of Dallas’ Office of Equity and Inclusion, Resilience Division, in partnership with Dallas Independent School District is exploring ways to improve internet service through a new speed test survey. The internet speed survey helps the City better understand and address the digital divide in our community. This survey and speed test are designed to gather data about the availability and speed of internet service, including to identify locations that lack such service.

Respondents are asked to visit https://dallas.speedsurvey.org through their home internet connection to answer a few questions related to their service. The survey will collect non-personal data and be used solely for the city’s planning efforts.
