I learned of the FCC Broadband Map today, which you can help build by downloading the FCC Speed Test iOS app, and running speed tests.
I live in a dark zone where it’s hard to get a signal outside, and impossible inside. Verizon claims on their map that I have perfect 5G, which I’ve never once seen here. And yet, when I stood on my back deck today, the wind must have been strong for me to get the highest numbers I’ve ever seen on my property.
In my shock, I ran a fast.com test immediately afterwards and got something far more regular. What explains the ten-fold gap in results?
