One very important topic discussed at the convention was the Indiana Speed Test, an initiative supported by Indiana Farm Bureau to gather valuable internet data in all parts of Indiana. This information will be used to identify and plan broadband initiatives for Indiana residents, particularly underserved or unserved areas of the state.
To do your part in helping gather data information, please complete the Indiana Speed Test at www.infb.org/speedtest. This test can be performed a number of times by each individual and SHOULD be conducted at various times throughout the day by underserved and unserved individuals.
