Technical Broadband Audit & Regulatory Compliance
Audits can be a useful way to evaluate an ISP’s network to better understand the actual broadband speeds their customers are receiving. Stakeholders may utilize different approaches to audits, including independent third-party testing, customer surveys, and data analytics in order to get a more precise understanding of the provided speeds in a service area. With increasing demands for accountability from ISPs, there are several applications in which ATS can contribute to providing a more accurate and comprehensive view of a broadband servicable area.
Broadband Nutrition Labels
Verify the accuracy of a service area’s advertised speeds versus actual speeds by backing up your claims with real-world performance data.
Speed and Latency for Disputes
Resolve local disputes about broadband speeds to reduce inaccuracies and prevent areas from missing out on grant allocations.
Anchor Institution Speeds
Assess internet speeds of key community facilities such as Schools, Libraries, and Hospitals, to ensure they receive high-quality broadband.
Anchor Instutition Speed Audit
Communities should bring forward large numbers of speed tests to help address concerns about the accuracy of service provider-reported availability data. This will ensure that the lowest amount of Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs) will miss out on essential funding.
ATS can conduct studies that collect speed and latency data using our Stamper Boxes to provide evidence that CAIs are underserved and eligible for funding. This method provides a convenient and dependable means to obtain 100% accurate data on the CAIs present within a county or service area.
