The Measuring Broadband America program assists with improving the transparency, accuracy, and availability of data on the performance of broadband services in the United States.

App Options

* Run tests in Speed Test mode to check your connection or in Challenge mode to challenge wireless coverage and improve the FCC’s Broadband Map.

* Schedule periodic automatic background tests or conduct manual tests.

* Monitor data usage and set a monthly data usage cap to minimize the data limit excess on a monthly data plan.
