SamKnows secret sauce inside 

SamKnows was founded to provide consumers with accurate broadband availability information. In 2008, SamKnows invented a technology to measure broadband performance, establishing it as the provider of choice to Governments and ISPs around the world. SamKnows remains a free resource for consumers and volunteers.

In 2010, SamKnows has partnered with NETGEAR to embed its software suite, which measures every aspect of a consumer's broadband performance, into a series of NETGEAR devices, the first of which to be released is the NETGEAR WNR3500L Open Source Router.

If you're interested in either the SamKnows/FCC American broadband partnership or the SamKnows/Ofcom UK broadband partnership, please fill out the form on www.testmyisp.com.

If you are an ISP or application developer wanting to find out more about how your network performs, measured from the point of view of your customers’ homes, please visit SamKnows.com to find out more.

If you’re a consumer and haven’t been able to get one of the first 10,000 SamKnows enabled NETGEAR routers as part of the UK and USA projects, you can still get all of the benefits of SamKnows performance monitoring by simply buying your own SamKnows enabled router. There is no extra charge – SamKnows is a free service for consumers and volunteers, you just pay the normal price for the router, we do the rest.
