The graphic to the right is a link to the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Broadband Map. It is important that information associated with each Lee County address is correct on the FCC's map so that the County can receive its share of Broadband Funding. You can help the FCC improve its map data by requesting a data correction if any information displayed for your address is incorrect. You can also submit a speed challenge if the download/upload internet service speeds displayed for your address are not accurate.
Here are some items to check for accuracy:
1.Your address
2.The internet service speeds for your address

The LTPT will continue to work with various County departments and outside agencies to focus on:
- Digital Equity and Literacy Programs
