FCC Mobile Speed Test

About this app

Use the new FCC Mobile Speed Test app to test your mobile broadband speed! This will help the Federal Communications Commission make its National Broadband Map more accurate.
The ad-free FCC Mobile Speed Test app offers three testing options: Challenge speed tests, Crowdsource speed tests and QuickCheck speed tests.


Challenge speed tests enable you to dispute, or “challenge,” your provider’s coverage shown on the National Broadband Map. Once there are enough “failed” tests within a certain area and at different times of day, a challenge will be created, which will require a response from the provider and may result in corrections to the Map.


Crowdsource speed tests help the FCC evaluate mobile coverage across the United States and verify the accuracy of the National Broadband Map.

QuickCheck speed tests let you test the speed of your wireless network connection without submitting a challenge or sharing your contact information with the FCC.

App Features:
• Test the speed of your mobile connection by running a “Challenge” test a “Crowdsource” test, or a “QuickCheck” test.
• Use the “Repeated Test” option to perform back-to-back Challenge, Crowdsource or Quick Check tests for up to 4 hours without having to initiate a new test each time.
• Run scheduled Crowdsource tests seamlessly in the background at your desired frequency.
• Set a data cap to limit the amount of data the app can use for tests over a one-month period.
• View test results in the History section.
• Export and save results as a CSV on your device or email yourself a ZIP file with test results.

Privacy:
We protect your privacy, and you can choose to share data with specific parties. Refer to the Privacy Notice for more details or get the App for more information.

The FCC may share your contact info with your mobile broadband provider if you choose to run a Challenge test so that the provider can use your data plan and other technical information to fully evaluate the test result.

Ratings and reviews

It used to require checking every box before every test, now it remembers your choices, but still only for unofficial speed tests (non-challenges). I hope they correct the issues with some users not being able to launch it at all but I have no issues. It does seem to absolutely eat up data, but to be fair I haven't compared its usage to other speed test apps. The worst part is clicking away for even a second will stop a test. They really need better background functionality.

Does "FCC" mean anything...? This "Federal" Communications Commission" ".gov" app is from a Singapore developer.... and REQUIRES WAY TOO MUCH personal information just to run a "speed test." Uninstalled.

This helps every individual American Citizen! Thanks to YouTube and the FCC 🛰️ Chairwoman, Jessica 💃This app is available to download on your federal telecommunication's cellular device 🤳📱 Give it a try in your area. It helps every individual with improving service.
