Tri-County Broadband Survey
 
Lyon Township is one of the communities that has been identified as a lower broadband access area. The Merit Network is asking residents to complete this 5-minute survey to help to improve access to high speed internet in our community.

Why High-Speed Internet Matters:
Now, more than ever, high-speed Internet is an essential and crucial service to those who live, learn and work in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties. Unfortunately, reliable high-speed Internet access is unavailable county-wide. Accurate information about connectivity is needed to help bring high-speed Internet access to everyone in the Tri-County area.

If you don’t have internet service, you can still take this survey on a cellular web browser or text @moon to 1-855-613-1746. To request a paper survey, please contact 313-625-0029.
