Real coverage, not carrier marketing.

Bodholdt Speed Testing is real cellular speed and coverage data, crowdsourced by people who actually travel — not drawn by carrier marketing departments.

Every carrier publishes a coverage map. Every one of them is a sales tool: modeled predictions, painted optimistically, rarely refreshed. When you're standing in a dead spot staring at a map that swears you have five bars, you've met the problem this exists to fix.

This is the opposite. Every point on the map is a real speed test run on a real phone, on a real network, by a real person who was actually there. No models. No guesses. No marketing.

How it works

Real tests, real devices. The app measures download, upload, latency, and network type over your live cellular connection — the same numbers you'd feel streaming, calling, or loading a map in the middle of nowhere.

Crowdsourced by travelers. The more people test, the sharper the picture. Drive a new road, ride a new train line, visit a town nobody's mapped, and you add a piece nobody else had.

Freshness is the whole point. A coverage map is only useful if it is current. Recent tests are weighted, and you can always see how fresh the answer is. "Best here, tested today" beats a quarterly-aggregate blob every time.

Honest about what we don't know. Where the data is thin, it says so, plainly. You will never get a confident answer built on three stale tests. An honest "not enough data here yet" is worth more than a pretty lie.

Privacy

One person runs this, and you're never the product. Your results are private by default — you decide what becomes public, and you can export or delete your data anytime from the app. No ads, and your data is never sold. The full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
