The Public Access Center is located on Plains Road in Hollis. In December of 2020 the production facility was upgraded extensively to address current and future technology needs. The Public Access Center operates under a fifteen year contract signed in 2014.
Limerick's Public Access TV is 100% funded through franchise fees. Limerick citizens voted to use 70% of this revenue stream for operations. The 30% balance is for technology capital needs in Limerick.
In 2020 portions of Limerick's equipment were also upgraded to address demands brought on by the pandemic. In October of 2021 Limerick's Livestream equipment was updated by SRC-TV in Hollis.
Selectmen, Budget, Planning, and Zoning Appeals Meetings are all broadcast on Spectrum Cable TV channel 5. R.S.U. 57 School Board meetings in Waterboro are cablecasted. All of Limerick's special town meetings and public hearings are also cablecasted on channel 5. All meetings are Livestreamed via the Internet and are also accessible at SRC-TV.org,

The Brick Town Hall was upgraded to a dedicated internet line with a speed of 100x100 in late December 2020. We often receive concerns about viewer reception when we are live streaming meetings. A dedicated internet line with a speed of 100x100 should be online at the Municipal Building in May or 2024 for live streaming.
Limerick offers two public Computer Access points with wireless access speeds of 100x100 or higher. They are located on Washington Street at the Library in the Municipal Building and on Main Street at the Brick Town Hall. The access is free and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Speedtests
Latency is the length of time it takes for data to travel to its destination and return to its source. Speed test applications display the results in milliseconds. The lower this number is, the better. Pings under 75 milliseconds are considered very good. Speeds over 200 milliseconds are considered poor.

Download speed refers to how quickly your connection can retrieve data from a website or server online. Almost all activities require a certain amount of download speed, so this is the main number you’ll want to pay attention to when deciding how much internet speed you need. Streaming multiple TV shows or movies at the same time (especially 4K media) and downloading large files are both examples of activities that require higher download speeds than average.
