County Ditch 8 Assessment
Steve Albright, property owner on County Ditch 8, explained to the Board that, in his opinion, his property
does not drain into County Ditch 8 and he was unfairly assessed. He indicated that there is a private road
that blocks any water coming from his property. He also questioned the amount of maintenance dollars to
be collected for the ditch. Discussion took place regarding the letters that were mailed to Mr. Albright and
the fact that the Redetermination of Benefits for Ditch 8 has been finalized. Commissioners requested the
Ditch Inspector look at the issue of drainage due to the private road or culvert(s) that may not be draining.
They requested that the County Attorney counsel with Rinke Noonan to determine if benefits for Ditch 8 can
be adjusted at this time. The maintenance fee process was explained. County officials will report back to
the Board on this issue.

Re: Results of the Residential Broadband Survey
Nick:
CCG conducted a residential survey of residents of selected portions of Otter Tail County. We
also surveyed residents of Battle Lake. In this survey we asked about residential usage and issues
with Internet access, cable television and telephone service.
The results of the two surveys are different enough that I have provided a separate summary of
the responses to each survey rather than combine them into one set of results. Throughout the
report I’ll talk about the results for each separately.

Survey Methodology
Rural Otter Tail County Survey
The rural Otter Tail survey was intended to cover those areas of the County that are not expected
to reasonably receive upgraded broadband in the next few years. In doing the broadband
feasibility study we discovered that the various smaller telcos in the County are already building
fiber or have plans to do so within the next five years in much of the County. However, there is a
large geographic area in the southern part of the County, served today by CenturyLink that has
no plans for broadband upgrade, beyond possibly beefing up rural DSL to reach 10 Mbps
download speeds.
The broadband showed that the following number of households fall into the category covered
by this survey:
Clitherall 83
Elizabeth 109
Lakes Areas 1,694
Rural 3,466
Total 5,352
We selected the households to call using recent white page directories from CenturyLink. Ideally
today a survey should include a mix of both landline and cellular phone numbers. However, it’s
nearly impossible to assemble a list of cellphone numbers for rural areas unless somebody local
has assembled a list of numbers, such as a local utility or the County.
The County does not have a good list of phone numbers for the citizens living in the survey area,
and we decided to test if we could still get do an accurate survey using landline numbers. The
County was able to match white page listing to GIS addresses in the study area and determined
that over 70% of homes in the area still have landlines. We speculate that this is due to poor
cellular coverage in much of this area. The 70% landline penetration is much higher percentage
than the nationwide average where about 45% of homes still have landlines.
After consulting with the County, we decided to proceed with a survey based upon calling
landlines. Our reasoning was based upon several factors. First, since the percentage of
households that still have landlines is high we knew we would be able to get enough responses to
make a valid survey. With that said, we would speculate that households that have given up
landlines and gone to all cellular are probably somewhat more tech savvy than homes that have
kept landlines. We don’t like to introduce our own bias into interpreting the survey results, but
our reasoning is that, if anything, the results of an all-landline survey are probably a little more
conservative than one that includes a mix of phone numbers. We would expect to find homes
without landlines to be somewhat more concerned about Internet access than those that still have
landlines.
Most business and political surveys strive surveys to achieve an accuracy of about 95% with
results that are plus or minus 5%. In layman’s terms this means that the results of such a survey
are reliably accurate (the 95% number) and you would expect to get the same results (within 5%)
if you could ask the questions to everybody in the survey universe.
At CCG we use an online survey tool that is provided by Creative Research Systems and is
found online at https://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm. We’ve used this tool for many years
and have manually done the mathematical calculations that demonstrate that the tool is accurate.
We were able to complete 360 surveys for the rural survey area, and the online tool that shows
the accuracy of this survey to be 95% accurate plus or minus 4.99%.
It’s important that the calling is done randomly. White page listings are generally already
considered to be random since the numbers are sorted by last name instead of by geographic
parts of the area. However, in this case we had to assemble the calling list by combining
telephone numbers from parts of three different white page directories that cover the different
parts of the survey area. Each directory covers a different geographic area.
We combined the numbers for the three directories to create one large pool of potential
respondents. The white page listings are electronic and we were able to combine them into one
calling list. We then used a method of calling every 20th number in the listing. This method is
called systematic sampling and is used by almost all companies that conduct phone surveys.
With systematic sampling, we call each 20th number, and when we reach the end of the phone list
we cycle back to the beginning and continued to select every 20th number until we obtained
enough responses. We generally must call 6-7 residences for every completed survey (many
don’t answer and some refuse to take the survey), so we recycle through the number list several
times.
Battle Lake Survey
The City of Battle Lake was able to provide a list of telephone numbers that includes both
landline and cellular numbers. They provided a listing of telephone numbers for 294 households
that didn’t include any identifying information like customer name. The City has almost 500
living units, so this list didn’t include every household.
It’s often a challenge in a smaller community to get enough households to take the survey to get
accurate results. We completed 75 surveys in the City, which is 15% of all of the homes in the
community. The online statistical tool says that this survey is 95% accurate, plus or minus 11%.
That’s a little less accurate than the County survey, but my callers don’t think they could have
gotten many more completed surveys than this.
Survey Results
Rural Otter Tail County Survey
The survey for the rural areas produced some interesting results. A full copy of the survey
questions and the responses are at the end of this report. Here are highlights of the survey results:
78% of residences in the survey have some kind of Internet connection at home. That includes
4% of households only use their cellphones as a data connection. Another 9% of homes use
satellite broadband. This means the number of homes with a wired Internet connection is 65%
This Internet penetration is lower than the national average, which the FCC recently reported to
as 84% of homes with Internet at home.
87% of those with Internet access don’t know the download speeds they are getting at their
home. For those that knew the speeds, all except one person were getting speeds under 10 Mbps.
This is not a surprising finding since we knew there is not a lot of broadband coverage in this
area. Interestingly, 12% of homes thought that their service providers were providing speeds as
fast as 50 Mbps. This is not unusual since we know that the big ISPs sell ‘up to’ speeds, meaning
they might advertise a connection that is up to 60 Mbps while the home might only be getting a
small fraction of that. These results indicate that the service providers are likely advertising
faster speeds than what are delivered.
Only 16% of homes were satisfied with their Internet speeds, which is one of the lowest
percentages we’ve ever seen in the many surveys we’ve conducted at CCG.
We also asked three other questions about they Internet product and got similar results. Only
12% of homes were satisfied or very satisfied with the reliability of their Internet connection.
20% said that they thought they got value for the price they paid. A much larger 47% said that
they were satisfied with the customer service from their service provider (just not, apparently,
with the product).
We also learned that 83% of all household are buying cable TV service, which is higher than the
79% nationwide penetration rate of cable TV households. Another 6% of homes say that they
only watch online TV like Netflix, which is lower than the national average (that number is
disputed but is estimated to be somewhere between 10% and 15%). We can speculate that lack of
bandwidth is stopping homes from cutting the cord.
In looking at prices, 32% buying standalone cable TV (no bundled with other products) are
paying more than $100 per month. 95% of homes with standalone telephone service are paying
less than $50. For standalone broadband, 56% are paying less than $50.
213 households (59%) say they are buying a bundle of services. In this market that could mean
the combination of telephone and broadband from the telephone company, although CenturyLink
also will bundle in DirecTV.
13% of the respondents say that somebody in the household works from home. 15% said that
they would work from home more if they had better broadband.
In the key question of the survey, 84% of homes said that they would consider buying Internet
access from a new provider if it was faster than what is available today. That’s one of the highest
percentages we’ve ever seen. What’s most surprising about the result is it represents more people
than are Internet customers today. This implies that there are households that are foregoing
Internet access today rather than buying the slow products available to them.
65% of homes said they would consider moving cable TV service and 61% said they would
consider switching telephone service.
When asked why they might change broadband provider, 84% said that they would switch if they
could get faster speeds for the same price they pay today – with the caveat that 75% would also
like to pay less. 72% of households said they would change providers just to get better service.
Rural Otter Tail County Summary
This survey had several results worth noting:
• The most important result of the survey is that 84% of homes said they would buy
broadband from a provider that could deliver faster Internet speeds – that’s more homes
than have broadband today, which hints that there are homes that want broadband but that
refuse the purchase the current slow products available.
• 65% of homes said they would consider moving cable TV service and 61% said they
would consider moving telephone service.
• Only 16% of the respondents in the rural areas are satisfied with their Internet speeds. We
know that nationwide that the amount of broadband used by the average home doubles
every three years, so we would expect satisfaction to decrease over time as households
find themselves unable to participate in larger bandwidth applications.
• The area had an overall lower broadband penetration rate than the national average (78%
compared to 84%).
• 83% of households have cable TV service which is a little higher than the national
average of 79%. Only 6% reported being cord cutters.
• Lack of good broadband appears to be an impediment to working at home with 15% of
household reporting they would do so with better broadband.
Overall, this survey shows that the rural areas are unhappy with the Internet choices available to
them today. They universally would consider another provider that would bring faster Internet
speeds. We can’t recall a survey where everybody was interested in an alternative provider and
this survey result can be used to help convince an ISP to serve the area with faster Internet
access.
Battle Lake Survey
As you would expect, the results were different in Battle Lake since the city has faster speeds
today than the rural areas. A full copy of the survey questions and the responses we received are
at the end of this report. Here are highlights of the survey results:
78% of residences in the survey have some kind of Internet connection at home. That includes
5% of households that only use their cellphones as a data connection. Only 1% of homes use
satellite broadband. This means the number of homes with a wired Internet connection is 72%.
64% of homes buy broadband from Arvig while 8% buy from Otter Tail Telecom, a competitive
subsidiary of Park Region Telephone. Nobody claimed to be a cord cutter and only watch online
video like Netflix.
The reported Internet penetration is lower than the national average which the FCC recently
reported to as 84% of homes with Internet at home.
Almost nobody in the City knows their subscribed or actual Internet speeds.
In contrast to the rural areas, 64% of homes are satisfied with their home Internet speeds.
We also asked three other questions about their Internet product and got similar results. 42% of
homes were satisfied or very satisfied with the reliability of their Internet connection. 42% said
that they thought they got value for the price they paid. And 44% said that they were satisfied
with the customer service from their service provider. Interestingly, not one household said they
were very dissatisfied in any of these areas.
We also learned that 88% of all household buy cable TV service, which is significantly higher
than the 79% nationwide penetration rate for cable TV households. 64% of homes buy cable TV
from Arvig and 24% have satellite dishes. Nobody reported watching TV only online TV, like
with Netflix.
65% of households are buying a bundle of services, which is one of the highest percentages
we’ve seen.
In looking at prices, 38% buying standalone cable TV (not bundled with other products) are
paying more than $100 per month. All homes with standalone telephone service are paying less
than $50 per month. For standalone broadband, everybody is paying more than $50 per month.
Only one respondent said that somebody in the household works from home, and that respondent
said they would work from home more if they had better broadband.
In the key question of the survey, 56% of homes said that they would consider buying broadband
from a new provider if it was faster. 55% of homes said they would consider moving cable TV
service and 59% said they would move telephone service.
When asked why they might change broadband provider, only one household cited Internet
speed as an issue. 68% said that they would switch if they could get lower prices. Only 4%
would consider changing due to service.
Battle Lake Summary
There were a few key results of the survey:
• 64% of homes are satisfied with their home Internet speeds. However, 56% said they
would consider a new provider that would bring faster speeds.
• 88% of homes still have cable TV service, which is significantly higher than national
average of 79%. Unexpectedly, nobody reported being a cord cutter.
• Almost nobody in the City knows their subscribed or actual Internet speeds.
These results are interesting in that the households in Battle Lake say they are largely satisfied
with their Internet service, but over half of the households would still consider an alternative
provider that could bring faster speeds.
