Broadband Advisory Committee
Julie Dolan writes: The Broadband Advisory Committee held three community Listening Sessions with approximately 100 citizens attending. These were facilitated, one hour sessions held at 3 different Town locations and encouraged attendees to tell us: What challenges they face with current Internet service, If they had faster, more reliable service, how would that affect them. And, what questions or comments they had for the Committee.
The overall impression is that Sandwich residents are almost uniformly unhappy with the speed and reliability of their current Internet service. Fewer than a half-dozen indicated that they were satisfied. We on the committee realize that people who are satisfied with their service would be less likely to attend one of these sessions, but we do want to hear from as many residents as possible, both positive or negative. We also know that some people were unable or unwilling to attend, so we would like to encourage anyone with an opinion/comment/question about this issue to contact us. The best way is with our email address Sandwich.Broadband@gmail.com. You can also snail mail our committee at the Town address, which is PO Box 194, C. Sandwich, NH, 03227, or call Town Hall at 284-7701 and ask for a committee member to call you back.
We will be posting a more comprehensive summary of the Listening Sessions on the BAC page on the Town of Sandwich website (www.sandwichnh.org). We would like to encourage anyone interested to visit that page to read that summary, as well as our “Backgrounder” which gives in depth information about Internet / broadband issues.

Those who visit Sandwich, NH, often find themselves planning to return. Some even return here to live. What makes Sandwich such a prized destination? An invigorating atmosphere, friendly people and quiet streets. Clear waters and scenic views in the White Mountains. Plenty to see and do embedded in the vibrant spirit of an historic New England town. I am grateful to be part of this exceptional community.
Those who visit Sandwich, NH, often find themselves planning to return. Some even return here to live. What makes Sandwich such a prized destination? An invigorating atmosphere, friendly people and quiet streets. Clear waters and scenic views in the White Mountains. Plenty to see and do embedded in the vibrant spirit of an historic New England town. I am grateful to be part of this exceptional community.
Grateful thanks to the Alfred Quimby Fund, the Town of Sandwich and Wedco for their support.
