If you’re using one of our older models and have recently changed packages (speed-tier) – it is possible that your Whitebox cannot handle your new speeds. Please see below capabilities for each Whitebox.
The Whitebox 8.0 is our latest and most advanced measuring unit. It is capable of measuring fixed-line broadband connections of up to 1Gbps with wireless capabilities 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
Why is it important?
If your new speed-tier exceeds the capabilities of your Whitebox, the results reported may become unreliable. If they were to become unreliable, they cannot be used in any of the national broadband reports published below.
