Norman County: Recent Progress But Needs More

Norman County ranks 83 for broadband access out of 87 counties. They have been hovering at 54.22 percent coverage to broadband of 100 Mbps down and 20 up. They have 1181 households without access to broadband at that speed. Estimates indicate that it will cost $10.9 million to get to ubiquitous broadband in the county.

Norman County has almost ubiquitous access to internet at speeds of 25 Mbps down and 3 up, which means county commissioners and maybe even incumbent providers are not hearing of greater need because people have what they need for email and web browsing but increased access and better use may open doors for the community but they will eventually.

Their coverage to 100 Mbps down and 10 up has decreased slightly in the last year, which is prob ably due to map challenges or corrections.

They are code red.
