VT Data - 2024/25 Drive Test - Speed Test Totals

<h2>Program Description</h2><p>The Vermont Mobile Wireless Drive Test Program is an initiative led by the Division of Telecommunications and Connectivity at the Vermont Department of Public Service to evaluate the availability and performance of mobile voice and data service along roadways in Vermont.&nbsp;</p><p>The program involves a “test-kit” consisting of consumer grade cell phones and specialized software to capture a real-world user experience.&nbsp;&nbsp; The software records mobile service availability, broadband speeds, and voice call completion.&nbsp; The collected data identifies areas where coverage is available, as well as areas where service is unreliable or non-existent.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><span style='font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif; font-size:12.0pt;'><span style='line-height:115%;'>Please note the Drive Test results capture a "snapshot" in time and may not reflect the current conditions</span></span></p><h2>Data Description</h2><h4>Data Test Totals</h4><p>This polygon feature layer features data summarized in H3 hexagons Resolution 8 from individual data speed tests conducted in 2024 and 2025. The data was collected for four mobile service providers in the State of Vermont: ATT, FirstNet, T-Mobile, and Verizon. This data includes a combined field that includes results from every test in each hexagon where testing was conducted.&nbsp;</p><p>The test data includes results from each attempted test collected during the program and includes the following attributes:</p><h5>Speed Test Totals Schema</h5><p><strong>Vendor</strong><span style='font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;'><span> -&nbsp;</span></span>name of mobile service provider tested; includes ATT, FirstNet, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Combined values</p><p><strong>Pass</strong>– a count of total passed tests inside the hex</p><p><strong>Fail</strong> – a count of total failed tests inside the hex</p><p><strong>Total</strong> – total tests attempted inside the hex</p><p><strong>Pass_percent</strong> – a ratio of passed tests to total tests inside the hex</p><p><strong>Download - </strong>(Download) speeds achieved during individual tests aggregated to H3 hexagon</p><p><strong>Upload - </strong>(Upload) speeds achieved during individual tests aggregated to H3 hexagon</p><p><strong>Jitter - </strong>variability in latency, or delay.
