The Quantum InsightsFederal Communications Commission has launched an app that allows consumers to test broadband speed to check the accuracy of their provider's mobile coverage range.
The Mobile Speed Test app, launched Tuesday, is intended to help the commission create a more precise broadband coverage map by crowdsourcing information, FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a news release.
“In today’s digital world, a fast and reliable internet connection is essential for everything from education to healthcare to work and staying connected with family and friends," Rosenworcel said. "Consumers deserve to know where they have mobile coverage and at what speeds."
Users will be able to submit tests as a challenge to provider-reported coverage. The new app replaces the FCC Speed Test app as a part of the Commission's Broadband Data Collection program.
The Mobile Speed Test app allows for repeat tests without a consumer having to enter information before each individual test.
The app will also have an in-app map overlay to view where a test was taken and allow users to log into the National Broadband Map.
The app is available through the Google Store and the Apple App Store. It is free.
