Our mission at Ookla is to empower consumers across the globe to understand and optimize their internet experience.
If you’d like to add valuable data to the maps and help to improve the feature, turn on location sharing in the settings of your device. Speedtest Maps are built using data from consumers who have opted in to location sharing in the Speedtest app. If you are measuring whether 5G is available, use the “Best” layer. This includes devices that are incapable of connecting to a 5G network (devices that support only 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE). The most common technology type layer in Speedtest Maps shows the technology type we saw at that location most frequently across all device types.
For example, there may be some 5G available in a certain area (Best) but LTE might be the “most common” tech type you’ll find there. Use the bar at the top of the slider to choose whether you want to see the best available technology in an area or the most common. Access details on the best tech type available and the most common You can use this to compare the service you’re subscribed to with that of other operators. Slide the bar up to select which provider you want to see detailed information for using the slider within the Map. And if you don’t have the Speedtest app, download it today for Android or iOS. If you don’t see the Maps tab in the bottom right of your screen with the map open, simply update the app. If you already have Speedtest on your mobile device, you now have access to Speedtest Maps for both Android and iOS for free within our existing app. If you’re looking to change operators, you can check to see who has the kind of service you need in the locations you visit most often.Then you can take that information to your operator to ask them to improve service in that area. If you consistently find yourself dropping calls in the same spot on your daily walk, you can check our map to see if others who use the same provider are experiencing the same thing in the same area.If you’re looking to use your brand new 5G phone on an upcoming vacation, you can check the map to see if your operator had 5G service in that location.Speedtest Maps give you access to information about where you will and will likely not have access to different levels of service in a particular area.
