Speedtest now measures just what kind of crazy high-res video your connection can handle
Never get stuck on a buffering screen again
Most streaming services these days offer 4K video feeds, either natively or as an additional add-on. Of course, resolution improvements only matter if your internet is fast enough to handle it. With its latest update, Ookla's Speedtest app is now equipped to test network connections for video capabilities specifically.

You can now plan ahead before going to a new area
Some operators like showing off their coverage maps on their sites, claiming full 5G or LTE coverage in entire cities and pretending small dead spots couldn't possibly exist. But we all know the reality is quite different and the only way to find out if your new apartment, office, or temporary vacation home is well covered is to just go there and see for yourself — or ask someone who lives nearby to check it. Now you can do that remotely through the Speedtest app.
When it comes to testing your network speed, Ookla's Speedtest app is the unmatched champion. But it hasn't seen a substantial update in a very long time, and it doesn't even scale properly on some devices (*cough* Nexus 4 *cough*). Looks like the company has been working on a new version of the app for a while now, which it just teased on Twitter.
