Speed Test Page — Historical Role

Bring the Web hosted a /speed-test/ page so households could measure download and upload performance. During the Every1Online pilot, families often compared results before and after receiving sponsored in-home Wi-Fi — documenting whether the connection could handle remote school video calls, not just basic browsing.

Why Speed Tests Mattered in 2020

When classrooms moved online, “having internet” was not enough. A connection that worked for email might still fail during simultaneous video conferences. Speed tests gave households a simple way to:

• Establish a baseline before equipment installation
• Verify improvement after Meta Mesh installed a receiver and in-home router
• Document performance when raising issues with the network operator during active pilot operations
• Compare mobile hotspot usage against fixed wireless service

What Good Performance Looked Like

Partner announcements emphasized that Every1Online targeted high-speed broadband suitable for video conferencing. Households evaluating any home connection — whether through the pilot or otherwise — typically looked at both download speed (receiving video) and upload speed (sending camera and microphone data during calls).
