Consumers can now accurately measure their ISP’s performance, helping to improve broadband across Singapore

Singapore, 7 April 2015 - The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), responsible for regulating the country’s telecoms, has contracted SamKnows to measure consumer internet performance. Singapore is one of 40 countries currently using the SamKnows measurement platform.

SamKnows is a global leader in broadband measurement performance, and provides consumers with the opportunity to measure and improve the quality of their internet experience.

By taking part in the National Internet Measurement Infrastructure (NIMI) project, Singaporeans can join thousands of other consumers in putting their ISPs to the test and ensuring they are getting the quality of experience that they are expecting. As part of a drive to expand the project, SamKnows is now offering free hardware devices called ‘Whiteboxes’ to new volunteers, allowing users to measure speeds of up to 1Gbps. Volunteers also download “SamKnows”, a free mobile app that gives customers access to real-time accurate data and analytics via the SamKnows dashboard.

Interested participants can apply for a free Whitebox at https://www.samknows.com.sg/
