New app could help expand broadband access in Montana
The National Association of Counties has created an app called TestIT to build a better map of broadband access. The app records the speed of upload and downloads and tracks your GPS location. No matter where you are, a tap of the app tells where you do and don’t meet minimum service standards. That information will be used to generate new coverage maps for broadband access. The app can also check and record the speed of your hardline internet if you have the Wi-Fi turned on.
