How do we create the Statistics?

Based on data from real measurement results of our users, we create a summary of the speeds of Internet providers in many countries and cities. We publish the results on the website on a monthly or quarterly basis. The data comes from the V-SPEED ​​applications: including the web application and for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. 

Statistics categories

We publish statistics in two categories:

  1. BROADBAND - includes tests performed in the networks of fixed and mobile operators (fixed wireless / mobile broadband) as part of connections via a router or USB modem,
  2. MOBILE - based on tests performed in 3G/4G LTE/5G networks on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets).

Rules

  1. We qualify operators for country and city statistics who exceeded the threshold of 3% of all tests in a given category in a quarter in a given country/city. The aim is to ensure appropriate representativeness of operators.
  2. Before we determine average values in published statistics, we analyse the data in detail in terms of their integrity and fraud detection. We automatically aggregate raw results for operator, user, and location and connection technology over a set period of time using continuously developed algorithms. Thanks to this, we average redundant measurement results made by single users, which could impact on the statistical results.
  3. The statistics list the Internet Service Providers (ISP) and other non-commercials along with their average download, upload and latency, regardless of the test count. The order of operators is determined based on the download speed (first from the highest). We determine the operator's name based on the user's public IP address from information available in RIPE, provided directly from the operator or from other sources.

Other rules

We require that the shaping of measurement traffic (data transmission speed) between measurement servers and the application user within the SpeedGeo measurement platform be subject to the same rules as in the case of other Internet services for a given user. This applies to both Internet access service providers and measurement server providers. Failure to comply with this rule may involve, for example, deletion of the measurement server, appropriate marking of the operator in the statistics, and ultimately, removal of the operator from the statistics.
