Ofcom Mobile & Broadband Checker App

We all want the best from our internet connection whether we're at home or out and about. But how do you know if your connection is working well? Could it be improved? Are there better services available? The good news is that a new Ofcom app now puts all these facts at your fingertips. It's a one-stop shop to show your broadband and mobile coverage, test your connections and suggest tips for improving performance. So how does it work? To check your home broadband start the app on a device that's connected to your Wi-Fi network.

It will then run a series of tests to check how well your Wi-Fi is performing. If the app finds a problem it will let you know whether it's due to your Wi-Fi or your broadband connection. It will also provide tips to help fix any problems. The app will show whether your connection is suitable for various online activities such as gaming, internet calls or high definition video, and lets you know if there are faster services available in your area.

The app's mobile checker will show you voice, 3G or 4G mobile coverage from all the major providers, both indoors and outdoors, wherever you are in the UK. The app is free to download and is available for both Apple and Android devices from the Apple App Store or Google Play..
