Traverse County: A Nice Increase This Year
Traverse County ranks 52 (up 18 points) for broadband access out of 87 counties. They have 80 percent coverage to broadband of 100 Mbps down and 20 up. They have 326 households without access to broadband at that speed. Estimates indicate that it will cost $3 million to get to ubiquitous broadband in the county.
Broadband in Traverse County has been increasing at a good clip in the last two years. I don’t hear much about what’s happening there but something is. In December 2022, Runestone Telephone received $2.5 million to expand broadband in Grant, Stevens, and Traverse Counties.
They retain their yellow ranking.
