ScreenshotsApp DescriptionThe Original-FCC Speed Test app allows users to share their speed test results with the FCC to help improve the accuracy of the mobile coverage information on the National Broadband Map. More information on the National Broadband Map and the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection can be found at: https://www.fcc.gov/BroadbandData.
Before You Install
The Original-FCC Speed Test App will no longer be supported in the coming months. If you wish to retain data obtained by the Original-FCC Speed Test App, you should export your data to your device or email it to yourself regularly. A redesigned version of the app is now available in the App Store and can be found by searching FCC Mobile Speed Test App.
App Options
● Run tests in Speed Test mode to check your connection or in Challenge mode to challenge mobile coverage and improve the FCC’s Broadband Map.
● Monitor data usage and set a monthly data usage cap to minimize the data limit excess on a monthly data plan.
● Export a .zip file containing data collected during tests.
Privacy
Your privacy is safeguarded, and you can opt-in to share information with certain parties. See the Privacy Notice or download the App for more information. The app may share contact information with your provider to help the FCC build more accurate mobile broadband coverage maps, along with information on the conditions in which the test was run. - Version: 4.3.411/20/2023Size:41.37MUpdate Log

iOS 15 update along with UI improvements and general performance enhancements.
ScreenshotsApp DescriptionWhat it does:
- Accurately measure the performance of your mobile broadband service by running active tests to evaluate the following metrics - download and upload speed, latency, jitter and packet loss.
- You can run these tests over both Wi-Fi and cellular connections.
- The data from these tests contributes to the FCC’s Measuring Broadband America program. The program is run by the FCC to fulfil its Congressional mandate to collect and make publicly available accurate and transparent performance metrics on US broadband.
- Your privacy is completely safeguarded. No personally identifiable information is collected.
How it works:
- You can selectively run manual tests in the app across download speed, upload speed, latency, jitter and packet loss to accurately measure broadband or cellular performance.
- You can set a monthly data usage cap to ensure tests do not go over the limit. You can also monitor data usage in the app so you do not exceed monthly allowances by your carrier.
- Using the built in GUI, it’s easy to compare tests and historical data collected to see how performance changes over time, or according to wifi/cellular connection.
- In addition to the test-generated in app information you can also export additional data collected during a test. This passive data such as Cell ID, Signal Strength and GPS location can be used to further analyze performance across time and locations.
