Opensignal - 5G, 4G Speed Test

Opensignal is an application that allows you to test the speed of your mobile and Wifi internet connections. It runs a series of tests, including download, upload, and ping tests, to accurately measure your internet speed. The results are calculated using a middle range of samples and are based on common internet CDN servers.

The app also includes a video playback test, which plays a 15-second video snippet to test and log load time, buffering, and playback speed issues in real-time. This allows you to see exactly what to expect when streaming HD or SD videos on your network.

With Opensignal's network coverage map, you can always find the best coverage and fastest speeds. The map shows signal strength down to street level, using data from local users. You can also check coverage ahead of a trip, compare your network to others in the area, and arrange the best local SIM.

The app also features a cell tower compass, which shows you the direction of the closest or strongest signal. This can help you use broadband and signal boosting technology more accurately. However, there may be accuracy issues in certain areas, and the app is constantly working to improve this feature.

Opensignal also records the time you spend on different types of connections, such as 3G, 4G, 5G, and WiFi. This allows you to see if you are getting the service you are paying for from your network provider. If not, you can use this data and the individual speed tests to highlight connectivity and signal issues to your provider.

In addition to providing speed tests, Opensignal also collects anonymized data on signal strength, network, location, and other device sensors. This data is shared with network operators and others in the industry to drive better connectivity for all. You can choose to stop this data collection at any time in the app's settings. It is also important to read the app's Privacy Policy and understand how your data is being used.
