Meteor - Test network speed

App Functions:

- Evaluating the speed of mobile and WiFi connections

Meteor is an advertisement-free tool for testing internet speeds that can be utilized to assess the speed of your mobile and wireless connections (on 3G, 4G LTE or 5G) as well as conduct WiFi speed tests.

- Assessing connection speed and application performance

Meteor's distinctive test enables you to determine how your internet connection and download speed impact the functionality of your preferred mobile applications. You are able to evaluate the performance of up to six mobile apps simultaneously, chosen from a selection of 27 of the most popular apps and games worldwide.

- Straightforward speed assessment

A single simple test presents you with clear results regarding download speed, upload speed, and ping time. Subsequently, select the apps you frequently use to observe their performance under your existing network connection - thus eliminating any uncertainty about whether your network provider offers the 5G service you require.

- Historical record of internet speed evaluations

Display all your internet speed tests on a map according to location and categorize them based on best and worst performance. Witness a timeline of your tests in the history section and analyze the statistics for each speed assessment to monitor the evolution of your network experience over time.

- Network connectivity coverage depiction

Stay informed about the most optimal coverage areas using Meteor's network coverage map. This map illustrates signal strength at street level utilizing information obtained from local users. With network data on regional service providers, you can check signal levels and internet reliability in outlying regions, compare your network with other providers in the vicinity, and secure the finest local SIM card.

- Enhancing network connectivity

Meteor is entirely free to utilize and does not include any advertisements.

We offer an independent reference for mobile network experiences: A data source revealing how users experience mobile network speeds, gaming, video streaming, and voice services across the globe. To achieve this, we gather anonymized data pertaining to signal strength, networks, locations, and other device sensors. You control this feature within the settings and can halt it whenever desired. We share this information with global network operators and industry peers to enhance connectivity on a larger scale for everyone.

Usage Guide

The idea behind the Meteor application is really simple, and that is to offer the most realistic results possible. Having best case scenario tests is not all that relevant, so a different approach is needed.

Meteor tests your Internet connection, either through Wi-fi or just mobile data, by using some of the most popular online services. This means that it's not picking the closest server to you; it's getting the proper server for each service tested.

For example, you might be an avid user of Google Chrome, so you will need to see what's the Internet speed with that app. Most likely, the performance of your connection will differ from Facebook to Whatsapp.

Of course, the Meteor users will also receive the general performance values with average latency, but knowing how a particular service is behaving in relation to you is just as important. The goal of Meteor is achieved by pinging and sending real data to the servers used by each of the implemented apps, thus offering much better metrics.

There are quite a few apps that can be tested for with Meteor, and you don't need to have them installed on the phone. Right now, the tests available in Meteor include YouTube, Spotify, Facebook, Waze, Google Maps, Skype, Amazon, Dropbox, Google Chrome, Flipboard, Gmail, Instagram, Google Street View, Twitter, Uber, and WhatsApp.

It's not the final list and people can request to have new apps included in Meteor. As you can see, pretty much all of the most used apps are available, and they should be enough for the majority of users.

Meteor allows for five apps selected simultaneously for each test, so you won't be able to test them all at once. It would most likely put a strain on the servers, but choosing just five seems to be enough. Also, the tests don't take that long, and you can rapidly select another five and run another test.

The provided results are for Download, Upload, and Ping, both for the overall performance and for each app that you've tested for. In the main tab, the results are shown only for the overall Internet performance, and you will have to tap on each app to learn more details about a particular test.

Another two tabs are available in Meteor, and they are called Dashboard and History. The Dashboard has information regarding the number of tests, the location of each test, and a filter to see the best and worse outcomes.

It's easy to imagine what the History tab is for, as it offers a list for all of the previous tests that have been performed since the app was installed.
