Run a Quick Speed Test... I run it, see my results then the go away. Where do we lookup that aggregated results information for each campground? -Bill

Not understanding what your asking.

When you run the speed test program, you’ll see the dashboard gauges move as upload and download speeds are individually tested. And then there will be a results page.

As far as a directory of parks who post speeds, I’m not familiar with such a listing, and quite frankly in my opinion there would be too many variables to provide for reliable information.

The question still stands. Where do we lookup that aggregated results information for each campground that's been tested and uploaded? -Bill

I don't understand your question either. Park reviews can be accessed from the info icon that pops up when you select a campground, but I don't think that's what you're asking.

I think you’re asking about campground WiFi speeds. Correct? Campgrounds are notorious for cheaping out on WiFi. I don’t know if anybody would take time to figure that out. Most campground owners would probably look at you like you had a fish head if you asked what their WiFi speed is.
If WiFi is that critical for you, consider bringing your own WiFi with you in the form of a WiFi hotspot or use your phone hotspot.

The RVLife App (RVtripwizard) tracks campground WiFi speeds if you run the Apps built in speed test. Its name is in the first post.

You run it and it uploads the speed for your campground.

It clearly states right in the app that is shares the info with other campers in the community.

Where do we search for that "shared information"?

Oh My, this just showed up on my review of this site. I have never seen this before. . I wonder if something just got turned on because I started this thread? -Bill

I went back a few reviews and found another one that had my speed test for there also. I went thru the other 50+ reviews for that campground and found no others with speed test results. I wonder if no one understands the app has this feature.

Just checked the reviews for a campground I had run the speed test on several times in June. The review still doesn’t show any speed test results. I stopped doing the speed tests since it seemed to be a waste of time.

I think there are bugs, it wasn't till I asked where to find that uploaded info on this thread that they started showing up a few days later on my reviews that I had run the speed tests at. And, if you read the prior responses to my question, no one appears to know the speed test is there and they were all marked as "Senior Members". Maybe that doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

You should keep doing them as they will provide all us much needed information once they quash the bugs. I have only seen a few other reviews with them, just starting yesterday. Since I have started using this a few months back I have discovered more bugs than I wanted to. Mainly I send them to the support email address. -Bill
