Mobile Broadband Testing
The California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC’s) CalSPEED program measures the reliability, quality, and availability of mobile wireless services. CalSPEED uses its own software in smartphones to take measurements at about 4,000 locations in urban, rural, and Tribal areas across California. You can find out how you can see these measurements and locations by using this CalSPEED how-to guide.
