![]() ![]() Ookla's new map (Opens in a new window) will let you click on specific areas to learn more about the 5G service available in that state or country, once you've scrolled down the page manually (more on that in a moment) and zoomed in to a specific country. Currently, the site tracks 303 5G deployments from 20 separate operators.Įditors' Note: Ookla is owned by j2 Global, the parent company of ExtremeTech's publisher, Ziff Davis. Ookla, the developers of the popular Speedtest application and website, have rolled out a new 5G coverage map service worldwide to illustrate where service is (and isn't). Let's hope it to be temporary so I can dump the speedtest I don't like.Trying to work out where 5G service actually exists is a tricky proposition right now, and malvertising efforts like AT&T's fake 5G "E" service aren't helping. BUT IF YOU HAVE AN IPHONE 12 THERE MAY WELL BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. Note I have given this app 4 stars as I really love it and have used it for years and years. I hope that the Ookla team will touch base with Apple and fix this. I think this shows the problem is in something Ookla is not allowing for as to some sort of change in the iPhone 12. ![]() ![]() Measurements all pretty much match the Mac's Ookla results at 300. That app works fine on both the 12 Max and the 12 Mini. But two iPhones doing the exact same thing? So I dwonloaded a competing speedtest app which I do not usually like as much as Ookla. Had I only bought the one iPhone I would likely have put on my mask and gone to the Apple Store. I take care to match the chosen server to the one the Mac is using and it is an incredible difference. Sometime measures under 100, usually around 150. But when I run the app on both my new iPhone 12s I get the exact same results of very low speeds shown. It shows my Mbps speed to be at or even over the 300 Mbps line I pay for. The Ookla app on my iMac (2019) works great. But both show a disappointing incompatibility with the Ookla Speedtest app. A few days ago we upgraded to my iPhone 12 Pro Max and she loves her new iPhone 12 Mini. And it worked fine on my wife's iPhone 8 and on my iPhone 11 ProMax. I have used it on iPhones for years and years. ![]()
