Martel says she's regularly frustrated watching a spinning circle on her computer while she tries to complete even the most basic municipal chores online. It could be years before high-speed internet reaches Victory. The need to connect homes and businesses to high-speed broadband services was highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and officials say that while there is lots of money available, supply and labor shortages are making the expansion a challenge.
