Brazil Broadband: how to measure internet speed with Anatel app

Brasil Banda Larga is a service to measure the speed of the Internet on your cell phone or PC. Developed by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), the tool offers Brazilians a platform for measuring the quality of broadband in the country. The test presents the download speed, upload and other important technical data to determine the performance of the Internet contracted by the user. The feature is available in the web version and in free applications for iPhone (iOS) and Android smartphones.

The service was created by the Broadband Quality Checking Authority (EAQ) after Anatel's 2011 resolution. It is part of the broadband quality check in Brazil. However, the data collected by the platform is not sent to the entity and is available only to users - as well as other similar tools that measure the speed of the Internet. The test is an important aid to the consumer to know if he receives the connection speed contracted with the broadband provider.
