CRTC (Canadian Radio-Televison & Telecommunication Commission) has partnered with SamKnows to research broadband performance in Canada.
SamKnows has run broadband research in many countries in the past (USA, UK). To learn more about SamKnows, visit https://www.samknows.com/
The research consists only on measuring the performance of your Internet connection and will not monitor your Internet usage.
Your participation is completely voluntary and at your discretion.
Once your application is accepted, you will receive a whitebox with plug-in instructions to your modem. The tests will be run by SamKnows afterwards.
In the email you have received, there is a web link leading to a subscription page. To keep the research neutral and independent, Cogeco, cannot sign you in for this research.
If you have not received an email, you can visit https://www.samknows.com/ to take part in the research.
It is free.
Refer that person to https://www.samknows.com/.
The tests will be run when you are NOT using your Internet service. Accordingly, the speed of your service will not be impacted.
However, the test will use minimal amount from your data package.
The test will be run randomly when you are NOT using your Internet.
