User reviews

This was super helpful for monitoring my speed everyday. If my video is ever choppy, I check the icon to see if things are rough, then I can move closer to the router, reset it, or whatever. Also pretty helpful with my team. Our marketing team is using this and can't wait to see the data after a few weeks so we can work together to improve speeds and avoid choppy calls.
