자주 묻는 질문
How many times should I test to feel confident?+
One is enough to confirm the connection works. Repeating the test several times only burns extra data without making the number any more reliable — the result can shift again the very next minute no matter how many times it is run.
Why do two tests run right after each other return different numbers?+
Because network conditions at that exact second have already shifted — the number of users sharing the mast changes, or the test server the app picks changes. A small difference like this is normal and not a sign of a problem.
The test reads low but maps and messages still work fine — should I worry?+
There is no need to worry. A traveller's ordinary tasks use far less bandwidth than the figure a test app measures. If real use still feels smooth, let that be the deciding factor over the test number.
Testing over a hotspot reads lower than testing directly on the phone — is that abnormal?+
It is not abnormal. Sharing over a hotspot adds an extra layer of signal conversion, so the figure naturally reads a touch lower. It does not mean the plan itself is actually delivering less speed.
Should I compare test results between two different plans to decide which to buy?+
This is not recommended, since variables like time, location, and how many users were connected at the moment of each test differ too much for a meaningful direct comparison. Decide instead from the specification and coverage stated on the plan pages themselves.
