CalSPEED
Download the CalSpeed app developed by the CPUC. It will give you upload and download speeds, but more importantly, it will record EVERY TIME you attempt, whether there is service or not. Each test tells the CPUC that you are trying to get service.
Use the CalSPEED mobile app to measure the quality of your mobile broadband service.
Feedback is encouraged to improve the accuracy of broadband availability data in California. Please send your feedback using the app or you can visit calspeed.org to install and use it on your desktop.
You can also complete an online survey and find public feedback in the Layers tool in the California Interactive Broadband Map.
