Previous versions of the FCC Speed Test app are free and open source (GPLv2): 2017 iOS version: https://github.com/SamKnows/skios-fcc 2014 Android version: https://github.com/SamKnows/skandroid-fcc 2013 Android version: https://github.com/FCC/mobile-mba-androidapp Methodology: https://www.fcc.gov/general/measuring-broadband-america-open... Judging from the media coverage, it looks like the app was recently updated. The source code for the current version has not yet been released, but I hope that it will be soon.

It's worth nothing that the FCC has a speed test app which is trying to gather exactly that kind of data: http://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-unveils-mobile-broadband-spe... (source available here: https://github.com/FCC/mobile-mba-androidapp ). It's currently more focused on mobile networks, but it also gathers Wi-Fi performance data as well. And given recent developments, I wouldn't be surprised to see the FCC broaden that focus.
