Ofcom release mobile performance testing app
Everything Goes
27-09-2016
Ofcom have released a mobile network performance testing app to Android users.

Quote:
“Ofcom is calling on Android smartphone users in the UK to join its first crowdsourced research project for better mobile phone services.

By downloading the Ofcom Mobile Research app, users can join a nationwide panel of volunteers who will help gather valuable information about mobile coverage, the reliability of voice calls, mobile broadband performance and users’ experiences and habits.

The app automatically measures the performance of mobile and Wi-Fi networks; users don’t need to manually run any tests. The highlights of its findings will be displayed on the app’s home screen. From time-to-time, the user will be asked to briefly rate how well they feel their service is performing.

Ofcom’s research aims to build an independent benchmark for both consumers and industry. It will help mobile customers make purchasing and switching decisions, and will be used to enhance Ofcom’s mobile coverage maps and consumer research.

This will then feed into various Ofcom research projects, including a new study comparing telecoms operators’ quality of service in spring 2017. All users’ data will be completely anonymised.”

The app will use a maximum of 3MB per month so not anything to worry about.

“The app will use a maximum of 3MB of data per month for its active connection test, and will only send the data collected overall over a mobile network if it cannot send it over Wi-Fi.”
