How we measure
Every measurement is taken on location, with our own eSIM, in real travel conditions: a precise place, a time, a connected network. We record download and upload speed, latency, then publish the result unedited.
The aggregates (median, mean, extremes) build up as we travel. The more measurements a destination has, the more reliable its median becomes. The median resists the extreme values of a single test better than the mean.
