Field tests: our real mobile speed measurements across the Americas
Every point on the map is a real mobile speed measurement, taken on location with our eSIM. Numbers gathered in person; when GPS is missing, the map point is estimated from the city or country and clearly marked.
0 measurements
Our field database contains 0 mobile measurements taken across 0 locations under real travel conditions. The most recent measurement was taken on date non disponible. Results can be explored by country, city, location and operator. They represent our measurement points and not nationwide coverage.
Coming soon: our on-the-ground measurements
We will publish our real mobile speed readings here, taken on location with our own eSIM. In the meantime, see our method below.
Why field tests
Most eSIM comparisons rely on spec sheets and theoretical coverage maps. We do the opposite: we measure on the ground, where you will actually travel. A crowded airport, a remote beach, a moving metro do not deliver the speeds a map suggests.
How we measure
Every measurement is taken on location, with our own eSIM, in real travel conditions: a precise place, a time, a connected network. We record download and upload speed, latency, then publish the result unedited.
The aggregates (median, mean, extremes) build up as we travel. The more measurements a destination has, the more reliable its median becomes. The median resists the extreme values of a single test better than the mean.
✓ Every published measurement comes from our team or a verified purchasing customer, and is manually reviewed before publication. No personal data (email, identity) is ever published.
