Selectboard to Invite LERA Representative as Members Say Wi‑Fi Still Poor Despite Upgrade
Summary
Selectboard member Erica Webb asked that Pam Uhlendorff be invited to the next meeting to give input on LERA; Chair Timothy Bullard said the town upgraded service from 60 Mbps to 300 Mbps via Comcast but heavy user load limits performance.
Selectboard member Erica Webb said she will ask Pam Uhlendorff to attend the next Selectboard meeting to provide an update on LERA and "how things are going overall." Webb raised continued concerns about internet and Wi‑Fi performance at the LERA site.
Chair Timothy Bullard responded that the town recently increased service from 60 Mbps to 300 Mbps by switching to Comcast, but that concurrent heavy use by many people has degraded individual users' experiences. The minutes record Bullard saying “it is what it is” when the limits of local capacity were discussed. The minutes show the board agreed to invite Uhlendorff to the next meeting for further input.
