We're being encouraged to show support for faster broadband in South Gloucestershire.
The council is urging everyone who wants a better connection to complete an online survey to help demonstrate demand.
Under the plans, central government and council funding will be awarded to a contractor to install high-speed broadband in areas that would not normally be attractive to commercial suppliers.
