The goals of this petition are to alert the Statham city government to problems associated with lack of sufficient internet access within the town of Statham and it’s subsequent social and economic consequences to our community; to ask the government to review the current contracts including requiring proof of delivering speeds as advertised and requiring upgrades to infrastructure as part of these contracts and to review access to city controlled utility poles with regards to broadband providers ; and to request a plan of action be developed and implemented to expand full coverage of verifiable high speed broadband and fiber networks to cover the entire city of Statham as an investment in the city’s future.

The city officials remain silent about these internet contracts despite the growing stack of signatures we have sent them. It is exhausting to navigate their indifference but I am digging through the technical documents to prepare for the next public meeting.

Live just outside Statham city limits and our only option is slow AT&T. Definitely need more options. I have work from home opportunities but am having a hard time because the internet is so mslow.
I would like to see choices. The only choice of Internet I have where I am is AT&T. I would love to see more options, so I can compare prices and packages.
Please, this needs to happen ASAP. Working from home can be frustrating when your signal keeps dropping!!!
This is a great idea I’ve lived in statham my whole life and at the moment I can’t get Internet service because I’m in the middle of two different service and I have for kids about to start digital learning.
I would welcome fiber internet in our community with excitement and would definitely be one of the first to sign up for service.
I live in Monroe near Gratis and our only choice is Windstream. It’s not horrible but it’s not Comcast either. Good luck!
I live in Bogart & have internet signal problems also.

It is imperative that the rural areas of our state are equipped with high-speed internet access for ALL. Kids who are not in school need access to their online curriculum and it’s just not possible with poor or no connectivity.
