How good is your broadband?
We all want to know. Make sure your speeds are as good as your ISP promised and help us benchmark Canada’s broadband industry. We are looking for volunteers to put their ISP to the test.
Free dedicated performance monitoring device
The Whitebox manufactured by SamKnows simply plugs into your router and tests your internet performance at the source. This is probably the most reliable and trusted method of monitoring home broadband performance.
Discover that performance is more than just speed
As ISPs supply faster and faster broadband, it’s likely that speed isn’t limiting the quality of your internet experience. It can be other factors such as latency and application performance, all of which can be measured and monitored on the SamKnows Connected Home Dashboard which all volunteers get free access to.
Is your own home network throttling your internet experience?
Wi-Fi is the most popular method of connecting to the internet in the home. New Wi-Fi standards promise extra speed at the expense of less coverage and penetration through solid walls. It’s not widely understood that the available speed at your router isn’t the same as the available speed on your device over Wi-Fi. SamKnows RealSpeed is designed to measure the difference to help volunteers on our study understand and optimise their own home network.
