Speed Master Broadband Performance Testing
Broadband performance isn’t just a Connect America Fund (CAF) requirement.
Do you understand the requirements and are you ready to comply?
MountainView from FinePoint Technologies makes broadband performance testing and reporting a breeze.
The FCC Requirements for Performance Testing
All carriers which receive government subsidies to provide broadband in high-cost areas must regularly conduct latency tests on their networks. Carriers who fail to complete the tests will be subject to financial penalties.
The latency test must be conducted once per minute, for 6 hours, starting at 6 PM and ending at midnight for 7 days each quarter.
The download throughput and upload throughput tests must be completed once per hour, for 6 hours, starting at 6 PM and ending at midnight.
All tests must have the packets terminate / originate at the closest of the 16 named internet exchange points (IXPs), or pass through them.
It is not a requirement that all tests be performed on the same night. However, all testing must be completed within the quarter.
