The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released a new version of its smart device application that enables users to evaluate the speed of their mobile broadband connection.
The FCC’s updated Mobile Speed Test application includes new features, including a “repeat test” functionality that allows users to conduct repeated tests without having to reenter and certify their information before each individual test, and an in-app map that displays the location where an individual test was performed.
The revised Mobile Speed Test app also allows users to log in to the National Broadband Map to review their speed test results in context.
The Mobile Speed Test app is part of the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection program to continually evaluate the characteristics of our national broadband service capability, as well as actual broadband performance in residential consumer markets.
The iOS version of the FCC’s Speed Test app is available for download at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-404177A1.pdf.
An Android-compatible version of the app is available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agence3pp.fcc.
