speed test:

Test your Internet connection together with our partner, umlaut communications GmbH, whether you are outside, inside, on public transport, on the train, in the car, etc. Save your test results and find out where you surf the fastest with your smartphone.

Connection test:

If the connection test is switched on, the availability of an Internet connection is measured regularly. For example, it is determined whether the network operator used provides a mobile service at the test location, whether this comes via the GSM, UMTS, LTE or NR network and what the reception level is.

With your help, we can create a coverage map of the individual network operators throughout Germany, which also works out regional characteristics.
