Opensignal – 5G, 4G Speed Test

Advertisement

The free Opensignal app contains several features to help you accurately measure your daily mobile network experience. No estimates. Includes:

• Download speed, upload speed and latency test, speed test on mobile network or WiFi networks
• Speed test history, illustrated on a map or list
• Network availability statistics – how long you stay connected on 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G or no signal
• Speed statistics obtained on all networks around the world
• Independent coverage maps made with user-provided data
• Free and ad-free

In detail: Speed test

The speed test consists of a 5-second download test, a 5-second upload test, and several ping tests to determine the most likely speed you'll experience. The speed test is performed on common internet CDN servers. The resulting speed is calculated based on the average sample interval.

Run speed tests and use test history to:
– Measure your network experience immediately
– Compare speed via WiFi and via mobile connection
– See the best places to connect on the map
– Find spots with higher speeds anywhere: at home or at work, indoors or outdoors

In Detail: Availability Statistics

Availability based on signal data. Collected while the screen is active, the app calculates the time spent using 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, or no signal. This demonstrates network availability in the locations where you use your phone most frequently.

Use network availability to:
– Find out if the connections in the places you frequent are 3G or 4G
– Prove to your operator that you have a problem – too much time on 2G?

In Detail: Network Statistics

Opensignal provides network statistics for all global carriers. Network statistics are generated by speed tests and signal data collected over a 60-day period. Location search and network statistics update users' download speed, upload speed, and latency in their area.

Use network statistics to:
– Compare speeds across all carriers in your area – can you get better speeds?
– Choose the best provider if you leave the area and need a SIM card
– Helps you choose the best provider for a second SIM card in a dual SIM cell phone

In Detail: Coverage Maps

Coverage maps are available for all carriers and extend to street level. Coverage maps are based on the signal obtained by the user—wherever they've been, the signal data is aggregated and displayed on the map. Changes to settings for colorblind users.

Use coverage maps to:

– Look for areas with 4G or only 2G/3G – you should have a 4G signal according to the map, but you don't? Check your device.
– Find out where carrier users get the best signal in your area
– See the actual coverage offered – no estimates
