# Australian 4G-5G Speed Test Explorer

Explore 4G and 5G speed test statistics across Australia, cross-referenced with government spatial datasets from ABS, AEC, and more. Courtesy of Ookla Open Data, this tool can help you understand mobile data download, upload, and latency performance for your suburb, electorate, state, and more.

## What this tool does

Our [Mobile Coverage Statistics Explorer](/node/36) has got a lot of great information about coverage maps, but the yes/no coverage information doesn't tell us much about the lived experience of users in each area. So we've crunched the numbers from [Ookla's Open Data](https://www.ookla.com/ookla-for-good/open-data) dataset for many of the different ways Australia can be segmented.

A note of caution - many rural and remote areas only have a handful of speed test results, so be sure to make note of the number of tests conducted. Ookla also doesn't distinguish between public and private 4G/5G networks, which might explain some of the impressive results in remote areas.
