FCC Launches New Mobile Speed Test App

Broadband Breakfast reports on a new speed test for *mobile* connections. (I had to read it three times before I caught the word mobile.)…

The Federal Communications Commission announced on Tuesday a new Mobile Speed Test app to help users easily challenge provider-reported mobile coverage data, replacing the original FCC Speed Test app.

While the original app allowed consumers to test their mobile and in-home broadband performance, the new app ensures accurate provider-reported mobile coverage data with features such as “Repeated Test” for hands-free testing, displays an in-app map of where a test was taken and the ability to review speed test results on the National Broadband Map.
