Does everything BUT what the user wants

It is absolutely insane that you cannot do a speed test specifically for Wi-Fi to challenge a Wi-Fi provider. That is the main reason that the majority of users downloaded this app for. And asking for personal info just to even try to run a challenge test? This feels like collusion with Wi-Fi providers to let them get away with false advertising and the good old data broker scheme.

Waste of time

Challenged T-Mobile last 03 years with no results from the fcc
 Test is not accurate compared to Ookla speed test. T-Mobile is fraudulent claiming service exists in areas where the signal is intermittent at best and mostly SOS.

Old version was Better

Like the old version better, didn't require name, email and other personal informational. The way they keep and store data is questionable at best.

FAQ

What does the FCC Mobile Speed Test app do?

The app allows you to conduct mobile speed tests to help improve the Federal Communications Commission's National Broadband Map. It also tests the speed of your wireless broadband connection. You can use it to dispute your provider's coverage or contribute to national data.

What are the different speed test options?

The app offers three speed test options: Challenge, Crowdsource, and QuickCheck. Challenge tests allow you to dispute your provider's mobile coverage. Crowdsource tests help the FCC evaluate mobile coverage across the US. QuickCheck tests allow you to test your connection speed without submitting data to the FCC.

Is the FCC Mobile Speed Test app free to use?

Yes, the FCC Mobile Speed Test app is free to use. It is also ad-free, providing an uninterrupted testing experience. There are no in-app purchases or subscription fees associated with its use.

What information do I need to provide to use the app?

For Challenge or Crowdsource tests, users must provide personal contact information including name, phone number, and email address. This is consistent with FCC rules for data collection and verification. QuickCheck tests do not require this information.

Can I save or share my test results?

Yes, you can view your test results in the History section of the app. You also have the option to export and save your results as a CSV file directly on your device. Additionally, you can email yourself a ZIP file containing your test results.
