This test is a tool to help Mississippi win, defend, and distribute federal broadband grants. As seen in the map above, FCC's Fabric (which is the basis for allocating federal grant funding) doesn't accurately capture Mississippi's broadband reality as it overstates coverage and undercounts addresses. By identifying every missing location and evaluating the true quality of broadband service, the BEAM office can identify areas most in need of improvement and build a defensible case to ensure Mississippians get the broadband they deserve. The test includes a series of internet speed tests such as M-Lab, Speedtest.net, and the Ready Strength Test in order to create the strongest argument possible and help displace any bias that might occur from a single test source. While the speed tests are running, you are given the option to fill out a survey to help us gain a better understanding of the specifics of your circumstance beyond what is observable through the speed measurements alone.
