Internet Speed Test
Combining the power of speed tests and crowdsourcing, together, we are building the biggest network and most accurate database of WiFi coverage and the connection speeds of these Hotspots in the world. SpeedSpot has a powerful and highly reliable speed test engine that is ideal for measuring any type of cell or WiFi connection: 3g, 4g, LTE, dsl, adsl, cable. It also takes into account the strength of the WiFi or cell signal.
This means you are getting the most accurate results for your download speed, upload speed or ping tests.
SpeedSpot is building a free, crowdsourced database of WiFi Hotspots that are rated by an internet speed test. In order to do that SpeedSpot let's you create SpeedSpots, which combine speed test data and a venue, like a Hotel, Cafe and Restaurant and its GPS map location (SpeedSpot = Speed Test + Venue + Location) and allows you to contribute this information to the database which is freely accessible for all SpeedSpot users on Android and iOS. Hotel results are also freely accessible to everyone using a browser on SpeedSpot.org, the only search engine on the internet that let's you check how fast a Hotel's internet connection is before you stay there.
Main Features:
✓ Run Speed Tests for your Cellular Network on 3g, 4g, LTE connections to improve your coverage
✓ Test the Download and Upload Speed and Ping of WiFi Hotspots on dsl, adsl, cable connections.
✓ Help make finding free WiFi Hotspots with fast network connections possible by contributing your test results to the crowdsourced database
✓ Worldwide high speed data server network for reliable results
✓ Keep track of your internet connection speeds in your personal result history. The details include download and upload speed, ping, signal strength, network name, internal and external IP and the test date.
✓ Compare your different 3g, 4g, LTE cell connection tests. Study the reliability of your broadband dsl, adsl, cable connections over time.
✓ Use the WiFi Finder to access a coverage map that let's you easily locate free, fast WiFi Hotspots around you in Hotels, Cafes and Restaurants and other public locations like stores, bars and libraries
✓ Free and without Ads
Additional Features:

We have recently focused on improving the accuracy of the download, upload and ping tests. We are also focusing on incorporating the influencing of the signal strength into the test results as the signal strength can have significant influence on the connection speeds. Also we are trying to continue improving on the ideal data throughput for 3g, 4g, LTE connections to further minimize the necessary bandwidth for the tests. As data size is not so important for broadband connections like dsl, adsl and cable here we try to focus on shortening the time necessary to receive meaningful test results. Also we are constantly advancing the coverage quality of the Hotels, Cafes and Restaurants add added to the database and the maps.

SMS Permission required to count the number of SMS sent to track your usage, SMS are never read (use a packet sniffer to check!)
Phone settings permission allows network reset on certain Android versions
Based on our community-generated data we are able to help keep you better connected by giving you a practical solution to the problems of slow mobile internet and dropped calls. Simply follow our signal compass to walk towards better phone signal or see our in-app coverage maps to work out which carrier is best for where you are, useful if you're thinking about changing. Our wifi maps help you find local public-access wireless networks (WAPs).
We use Google Maps in our apps, email us if you cannot access Google Maps, email us to request another map technology.
The Stats tab helps you to keep track of your usage, so there's no danger of you going over your plan limit on data, voice or text. (NB – this is why the app needs permission to access contacts and SMS, these are the permissions needed to count calls and texts, messages are never accessed or read!).
Maps not updated in real-time. Don't worry though, we log the information you share with us to improve our coverage maps and signal information. We're working hard to make sure the data you contribute to the project is available to everyone as quickly as possible.
- Not all towers and wireless routers are in our database - we're working on it!
- Verizon & Sprint (CDMA) users will see only one connected tower at a time
- Moving in the direction of your cell tower (the signal compass) will not always improve reception due to interference effects/local geography.
Advanced notes:
- For GSM, cell tower are identified via cell id and location area code (CID and LAC)
- For CDMA cell towers are identified via Network ID, Base sub-station ID and system ID (NID, BSSID and SID).

4Gmark (3G / 4G speed test)
When you perform free tests with 4Gmark, you participate in a collaborative project to aggregate a base of information for understanding and improving the quality of service.
The "Speed Test" quickly calculates downlink and uplink network speed (average Bitrate).
At the end of the Test, in the results, you can benchmark your results against the average bitrate obtained by other users in your country, in the same area or using the same smartphone (wifi or cellular).
The "Full Test" is a scenario with all protocols (latency, transfer, youtube, web) giving full visibility over the quality of the connection environment. It calculates a score which let you compare between them different smartphones, networks or places.
At the end of the Full Test, in the results, you can benchmark your results against the average score obtained by other users in your country, in the same area or using the same smartphone (wifi or cellular).

WiFi | Mobile Network Speed
Veloxity WiFi & Mobile Network Speed is your personal assistant for Network Quality and Data Utilization.
With Veloxity, you can:
- Measure App Speed in Real Time.
- Find the best Public WiFi connection.
- Clean your Home WiFi channel.
- Compare WiFi vs. Cellular Net App Speed. Choose the best network.
- Control your Data Expenses! Never exceed your data quota again.
First major feature of WiFi & Mobile Network Speed is to show your WiFi network quality, not only by signal strength but also by interference and by network load. You will be able to solve interference issues by switching to the best channel suggested. If you see INTERFERED in your Wi-Fi status, use one of the free channels we recommend, and you will have a much higher speed. If you see WiFi FAR notification, you will experience lower data speeds. So it is time to choose a closer spot to use your WiFi or get a repeater if you cannot change your router location.
Measure your Network Speed, in real time. This is our WiFi & Mobile Network Speed App's second major feature. The way we test your network speed is different than all speed test tools in the market. Actually we do not test it, we show the speed you really experience. Regular speed test tools downloads and uploads an anonymous file through their own server. So what they really measure is the performance of and the route to their server as well as your own WiFi or Cellular radio link. This type of test will not tell if your TV App or YouTube will show the same performance. What Veloxity measures instead is the Network Speed of each and every single App in your device. So you will see how YouTube, Facebook or your favorite Game performs in your network.
While we measure your Apps Speed and Clean your Network Quality, we did not forget about your quota. Clean links mean faster data speeds. Faster data speeds mean more data consumption. While most of WiFi subscriptions data quota are large enough, most of the Mobile subscriptions are still very limited. Exceeding your quota will result in high number in your monthly bill. Veloxity will keep a track of your total data usage per App, so that you can easily manage your quota, see which Apps you spend most of your money on.
We also prepared a small Game for you if you want to share your network experience with your friends.
Your network quality is a personal matter for us. Please enjoy our utility at no cost.

Important note: Speedtest uses ICMP to run ping and trace route. There are some devices and builds of Android where this has been intentionally blocked. Unfortunately, there is nothing we as developers can do to avoid this happening. If your device is affected, Speedtest will not run ping or trace route. It will simply skip and leave the fields blank for results. Hopefully, in the future, there will be a work around.
If you experience any unexpected behavior (crashes, hangs, etc), please feel free to email us from the app. We are always looking to improve your experience.

"Great for Business Trips Too"
I reserved this unit for a business stay while I was working on the wind farm up the road in Kahuku. Perfect location and an excelent place to get a good nights rest. The pool in the complex was a great place to relax after a hard day's work.

"Very nice. Would stay there again!"
Our vacation was very good. We were celebrating our anniversary with no kids with us! The condo was great. It had everything we could ask for. All appliances were in great shape. We only had two small issues that both had to do with plumbing. The shower handle needs to be replaced. Also, if you turned the hot water on by itself in the bathroom sink it would shudder and then turn off. Other than that, we would definitely stay there again!

"Great North Shore Location"
Wow! Why would anyone stay in Wikiki? We LOVED the slow pace of the North Shore and this condo was in a perfect location (last row of condos before getting to the resort). We were a 5 minute walk to Turtle Bay Resort and this condo had all the amenitities needed for our stay (it does have a hair dryer!!). Only complaint I could have for the property is that it does not have a jacuzzi on site...only a pool. The jacuzzi would have been nice to relax after a hard day of vacationing! The property management location down at the sugar mill was a little inconvenient for returning the keys - but not a deterrent for staying again. We definitely recommend this location.
Response from the manager, The Estates at Turtle Bay, Inc. - 02/12/2013
Wish we were allowed an office on the property, but it is residential and not possible. Our office is less than 5 minutes up the road.

"Appropriate Honeymoon Suite"
We planned to check in early on same day of our wedding and we totally spaced it and thought we could not check in since it was really late, but luckily they had an emergency line and the rep was really helpful and it was a good start to a honeymoon for us....thoroughly enjoyed the unit, very clean, comfortable and cozy

"Not as clean as I thought"
I have visited these properties for about 3 years now. I always enjoy my stay on the North Shore.
We found an apartment closer to the Turtle Bay Resort and thought it would be easier to get to the hotel and the beach.
When we arrived we found a nice place with nice furniture. I work when I stay here so I always look for high speed internet. Then I tried to log on the internet router did not work and could not be fixed for my whole stay. I had to sit in the rain and use the free wifi near the tennis courts. I was only given a 10% discount for the problem.
Since it was raining a majority of the time we spent a lot of time in the apratment. We felt our allegies and found that the rug and the couch was not as clean as we would have liked.
I would think about another apartment before you selected this one.

"Nice and relaxing stay"
I woke up in the morning and sit in the lanai watching people playing golf. That was a really relaxing time of a day. Nice kitchen with everything I need. Clean property. I will come back to the same property again.

"North shore of Oahu Heaven"
If you want a nice place to base your North shore expeditions, Turtle bay is a great place. If you want to hob nob with the folks at the club, it available. This was a fun place, quite and very comfortable. Our Condo was 1/2 mile from the resort and beach.
This place is accessible via Honolulu Bus system. The bus will drop you off within 200 or so yards of the complex. So you can ride from Honolulu for a few dollars.

"Our holiday at W13 Turtle Bay"
Our stay at w13 in Turtle Bay fully lived up to our expectations. We accommodation was well furnished, clean and comfortable in an excellent location. It was very useful having access to the hotel's restaurants within walking distance. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a holiday on the north shore.

"Pleasant stay at Turtle Bay Estates-weather couldn't be better!"
The property was as described though not sure why a renovated unit had curtains with tears in them and spotted carpet! The bedroom furninshings could be tuned up with little effort. Everything else was wonderful with the location being the best-on the golf course and short walk to the beach!

"I had a wonderful time."

"Relax on the North Shore"
Our villa was nice. We had air conditioning in the main bedroom and the house was clean. The main room is hot if you're hanging around the house but other than that, it was a great place to stay and I will definitely book with Turtle Bay Estates again.

"My stay @ Turtle Bay 013 West"
I got married at Turtle Bay Resort and had over 60 guests at my wedding. Most of the guests stayed in this Estate but I will say of all the condos I visited, this had the best interior. This is a well maintained,contemporary furnished condo. I loved it so much. I recommend this condo to anyone trying to rent a place in this Estate. You have nothing to improve on as far as I'm concerned..this #13 condo is fantastic.
Cindy M.
"Turtle Bay 013 West"
I would try the condos again, but a different one. Air conditioning was not very good. At check in I was given a slip of paper saying if the air conditioning was left on during the day a staff member would come in and turn it off. I was also give a note that said they were going to exterminate and we would need to be gone that day for 3-4 hrs after it had been done. I called the office and said I had not been made aware of it and we had planned on spending that day at the beach and the room, they did not know what time he would be coming, morning or afternoon. I was told it was for legal reasons they had to put that 3-4 hour time in but that everything was fine and we did not have to vacate the room. After expressing my concerns and that I was not comfortable withe the situation they agreed to not have the exterminator come. The check out instruction said we were to take our garbage to the dumpsters in the parking lot, this unit however did not have any garbage bags I could find.
It is a nice area and each condo is different, I would try again just a different condo unit.
Dan P.
"Family friendly."
We traveled for 10 days to Hawaii with the first 6 days in Waikiki. Our last few days were at The Estates at Turtle Bay, and we were very happy with our decision. It was my wife, our 1 y.o. son and myself. The location was easy for in and outs to the beaches, pools, and golf. The unit was extremely clean, and very functional! The kitchen was perfect for cooking light meals for our son, and ourselves. The Lani furniture was so comfortable that we spent most of our time out there. The indoor couch was not so comfortable, but we didnt spent much time inside except for watching cartoons with our son. The TV and CD player are very nice along with the large fans in the main room. The only complaint we have is the bed smeeled like sweat from the individual before us. We cleaned the mattress cover which helped. Anyway, we would definately stay here again!
Here are a few recommendations: Golf the Plamer course, eat at Kahuku Grill for great burgers, and enjoy the Acai bowl at the smoothie shop across from Foodland.

"A Stay in Paradise"
This is the second time we have stayed in this condo. It has been recently remodeled and is very comfortable. It backs to the area of the golf office and restaurant, on weekends can be a little noisy. That is balanced with this condo being an easy walking distance to Turtle Bay Resort and the public beach. Our only real issue would be that the drapes in the bedroom and living area do not block out the light and allow persons to see what is going on in those areas. Some other form of window drapery needs to be put in place We have been pleased enough with this condo to comeback. The area (North shore) is unbelievably lovely and at times on some beaches you are all alone. We have seen the large turtles several times, we would recommend this condo and the Estates of Turtle Bay's 3 star properties.

"Clean, nice looking unit...."
Clean, nice looking unit. Kitchen Counter outlet wasn't working even after maintenance came in to repair it. Also in the hot weather it would have been nice to have AC in living room although opening up all the doors and windows gave a pretty good breeze when a breeze was available. The sofa/bed was very comfortable.

"Visit to Paradise"
The condo met all my needs and allowed me to enjoy my short visit to paradise. As always, the staff and Mgmt were extremely helpful and professional. I've stayed with this compnay on all my trips to Hawaii and have never been disappointed. If there is a problem, it's always taken care of ASAP.

"Great Birthday"
We love staying in the condos. Best of both worlds. Beautiful ocean views and great food at Lei Lei's.
Richard P.
"Excellent condo on O'ahu's north coast"
The unit had apparently been recently remodeled and was in pristine condition. The golf course view was not quite as dramatic as an ocean view, but quite pleasant nonetheless. The property is close to many very nice beaches, as well as the excellent Audubon Center, good restaurants and shopping. Parking is a few feet from the unit for easy packing/unpacking. Reasonably priced by Hawai'i standards.

They were only expecting 200. They got more. Many more. Organizers with Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a Colorado grass-roots gun-rights organization, had planned a free, four-hour firearms training course for local teachers Monday evening. More than 300 teachers showed up for the event in Broomfield -- which coincided with the introduction of the Colorado Teacher Carry Bill in the state Senate. The bill would empower school boards to allow teachers to carry a firearm if they have a concealed-weapons permit.
"Colorado teachers have been beating down our doors to receive firearms training. They don't want their students to be a victim of the next Adam Lanza," observes Dudley Brown, executive director of the group, referring to the shooter in the Newtown, Conn., massacre.
"They came here for training because they want the next Adam Lanza to face the barrel of a .45."
'Immediate protection for all'
Wayne LaPierre has a date with the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for a gun violence hearing. His message will be clear. "Law-abiding gun owners will not accept blame for the acts of violent or deranged criminals. Nor do we believe the government should dictate what we can lawfully own and use to protect our families," says the CEO of the National Rifle Association, in prepared testimony released ahead of his appearance.
"Proposing more gun control laws while failing to enforce the thousands we already have is not a serious solution to reducing crime. We need to be honest about what works and what does not work. Proposals that would only serve to burden the law-abiding have failed in the past and will fail in the future," Mr. La Pierre will tell his audience.
He adds, "But there are things that can be done and we ask you to join with us. The NRA is made up of millions of Americans who support what works. The immediate protection for all -- not just some -- of our school children. Swift, certain prosecution of criminals with guns, and fixing our broken mental health system."
The NRA, meanwhile, has sent out a rallying call of its own. "You can bet the anti-gunners will be trying to mobilize their supporters to pack the hearing room, so we need to make sure the room is filled with supporters of the Second Amendment," proclaims an email message to some 4 million members.
Why they argue
"Of 17 U.S. policy areas, gun laws spark the greatest difference between Republicans and Democrats in terms of their satisfaction with the nation's policies in each area," says Gallup analyst Jeffrey Jones. "Fifty-nine percent of Republicans and 28 percent of Democrats are satisfied with U.S. gun laws, a difference of 31 percentage points."
Immigration policy also presents a huge partisan difference: 23 percent of the Republicans are satisfied with the level of immigration in the U.S., compared to 46 percent of the Democrats. And in third place? A quarter of Republicans are satisfied with the amount Americans pay in federal income taxes; 47 percent of Democrats agree.
"Party supporters differ most starkly on three policy areas that will be a major focus of the Obama administration this year: gun policy, immigration and federal taxes. That clearly creates a situation in which the two parties likely disagree on the need or urgency of government action in these areas, which makes passing legislation to address these issues more challenging," Mr. Jones predicts.
Historic immigration
"We have a national interest in knowing how many people our country can accommodate."
— Then-Sen. Alan K. Simpson, Wyoming Republican, speaking on immigration to ABC News, April 8, 1990.
The changing cast
Very liberal James Carville and sensible Republican Mary Matalin, the original "he said, she said" political couple, are no longer commentators for CNN, as of Tuesday. The network and the pair cite their distance from Washington as the biggest driver here. The couple live in New Orleans; CNN wished they lived on Capitol Hill.
Erick Erickson is something else again. The co-founder of the conservative RedState.com joined the network in 2010 with much ado, a symbol that CNN hoped to attract a wider audience and perhaps draw the attention of Fox News loyalists. Easier said then done. Mr. Erickson is also departing CNN and is bound for Fox News.
"For all those liberals who lost money thinking Keith Olbermann would outlast me at Current TV, well, sorry," Mr. Erickson says. "Me at CNN was not an easy fit. The first month was tumultuous with several tumultuous times throughout. I liked to think of myself as job security for the public relations department. About the only thing the far right and far left could agree on was that I did not belong at CNN."
He adds, "For three years I have received unmitigated hate and loathing from the left and, ironically, from a lot of folks on the right. Frankly, I'd like to thank some significant people responsible for my time at CNN, but they know who they are, and it'd just generate hate mail for them so I better not."
