One look at Colorado’s official broadband map and Bernadette Cuthair of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe will tell you it’s wrong.
This story was originally published in the Colorado Sun
As the tribe s director of planning & development, Cuthair has been working to help her community access faster internet service. But the current broadband map makes it seem like the southwestern town of Towaoc, the base for the tribe, doesn t need help. The map shows most of the town already has federally adequate speeds of 25 megabits or faster.
Not quite, she said. We have a very slow speed, Cuthair said. In many cases, the provider s actually providing 3-megabits (download) and 500 kilobits (upload) for services according to their own website. . The southwest Colorado region could benefit from more redundancy of services and options.
