Homeowners in Johnston County will soon have better access to information about broadband services in their area, thanks to a new online tool. During the Johnston County Board of Commissioners meeting on June 16, 2025, officials discussed the upcoming launch of the North Carolina Department of Information Technology's (NCDIT) broadband status map, expected to be operational by the third quarter of next year.

This user-friendly website will allow residents to enter their home addresses to check their broadband service status. Homeowners will see whether they are already served, if they are in line for service due to grant awards, or if they remain unserved. The map will also provide details about which internet service provider has been awarded grants for their area and estimated project completion dates.

Commissioners emphasized the importance of this tool, noting that it will help residents stay informed about broadband availability and improvements. They encouraged the public information staff to promote the broadband status map to ensure that residents can easily access this valuable resource.

As broadband access continues to expand in Johnston County, this initiative represents a significant step toward enhancing connectivity for all residents, particularly in underserved areas. The county is committed to keeping the community updated on these developments as they unfold.
