| NOTAS: | This study was carried out for the European Commission by SamKnows Limited
"This study made by SamKnows for the European Commission measures the difference between the Internet speed you pay for and the internet speed you get. The results are based on peak time performance, which is defined as weekdays 7:00pm to 11:00pm (inclusive). This is the second SamKnows study (with a third study planned in 2014). It is based on a methodology that uses hardware devices and provides the most accurate and independent results of Internet performance regardless of access technology and home installation. This methodology has also been used by national regulators in the US, the UK, Brazil and Singapore. 9,467 devices spread across 30 countries took a total of 7,184,604,603 measurements as part of 63,666,843 unique tests.
The second report was completed independently of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), however ISPs are invited to participate in third report." |
