classified as first-party · 2

This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed

We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence medium — classification split: anthropic=unknown, openai=first-party, gemini=first-party. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — unknown

The hostname pattern (city.state.speedtest.<isp>.com) indicates a Speedtest measurement server hosted on Frontier Communications' network, i.e., a functional bandwidth-test endpoint for the app's core purpose rather than a tracking, analytics, advertising, first-party, or CDN host; since none of the offered categories fit an ISP-hosted test node, 'unknown' is the safer label. No evidence here shows a data flow beyond the measurement traffic inherent to running a speed test, so undisclosed cannot be established from what is given.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain appears to be a Frontier-hosted Speedtest server endpoint, likely contacted to perform the app's core network speed measurement rather than for tracking or advertising. With no evidence of what data is transmitted beyond the test connection, an undisclosed data flow cannot be established.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain ashburn.va.speedtest.frontier.com is a network server used by Ookla Speedtest to conduct speed and latency tests. This traffic represents essential core app functionality rather than data collection or tracking.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
