Application allows you to analyze common and famous services such as Netflix, Youtube, Spotify and Skype, among others, to identify possible data blocking

the law of Internet Civil Landmarks here in Brazil it arrived, theoretically, to regulate the use of the network with guaranteed principles, and among them is the neutrality. It is based on the idea that all information that circulates and travels on the internet must be treated in the same way, thus ensuring the same speed for all services without depriving applications for consumption reasons. In practice, however, this neutrality is same being respected? 6w524f

Analyzing traffic control on smartphone 1a33q

For those who want to test if their internet provider or operator is respecting this principle of net neutrality, there is already an ideal application available for Android and iOS, the wehe.

It was developed by Northeastern and Massachusetts universities precisely so that lay s in of data traffic could be aware if their operators were blocking some services. Mainly because the subject is highlighted there, as we have already shown here.

Who is noticing some slower services or apps on their smartphones, or even who just wants to make sure that everyone is being treated within the principle of neutrality, just the application and follow a few simple steps to perform the test. It is compatible with famous services that are commonly used by many people such as Netflix, Skype, YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, among others.

Checking step by step 12d5a

1 – The first step is to the application. Once it is installed, just access the wehe and initially a of use document will appear. In short, the document is an invitation for the to participate in the survey in order to understand how internet providers can control traffic, decreasing performance in some applications. The decision to participate is voluntary and testing can be done multiple times on many different networks. Click in "Accept".

Step 1
Application and of Use

It is important to that the smartphone must be connected to the network that you want to test, so if the wants to test the 3G network, the device's wi-fi signal must be turned off. The application will consume data from the 3G internet franchise, however.

2 – On the next screen, select “Start”. Once you do, the app will show a list of the services and apps that are ed by the test. Select the ones you want to test and then “Click here to proceed".

Step 2
Click Start and choose which apps you want to analyze

3 – A message will appear asking the to leave the application running in the background, that is, not to interrupt it, to avoid any error in the analysis. The smartphone screen will be lit while it is in progress.

4 – Now just click on the icon of Play at the bottom of the screen and wait for the analysis to be done. It can take a few minutes and by default the application always parses each service twice.

Steps 3 and 4
Leave the app running in the background and start

Finally the wehe will give the result of the analysis. Applications that earn the status of “No differentiation” are not being manipulated to slow traffic. Apps that earn the “Possible differentiation” are the ones that may possibly be being restricted by the operator. Himself wehe performs a repeat test only as a guarantee.

Test result
In case of differentiation, the application redoes the analysis

If the application is interrupted on your smartphone, a tip is to run the test on one service at a time instead of all at the same time. It can be ed for free from Play Store ou na App Store.
