You didn't want to call your carrier. Could you contact Ookla and see if they know anything?

the least amount of time I have to deal with Frontier the better. There are other apps out there. More curious than anything

I went to the "provide feedback" section of the app, and there is a thread marked "known issue" in red. So Ookla knows about it.
It's more than just here and the same app works fine on other services as well as phones... If it's a fluke it's a fluke!
I still think it's linked to the 100 Million dollar fine imposed from FCC on AT&T!
I'll bet all the phones blocked are or were on the Grandfather plan!
I'll also bet someone blocked Ookla because it's the most popular Speedtest App!

Yeah, you're the oddball that makes it senseless. I sure would like to know the common denominator.

I don't think so. It was working fine and now it doesn't. It's listed as a known issue on Ookla site. I'm sure it will be fixed soon enough.

It just seems odd that most are related to AT&T in some way. And I agree with phreddyl.

Mine is working now too. My speeds have gone downhill over the past few weeks. I originally thought it was my M9 just getting poor speeds. But my iPhone 6 is getting them too. Only 8.53 down.

Yeah mines working again as well! Well either way I remain skeptical just because I'm usually somewhat right... I did do my own comparisons between phones and services before I posted here. I just wanted to see on a bigger scale as I know these forums are extremely popular!
Whether it was a fluke or nothing to do with being AT&T there's nothing wrong or stupid about being skeptical. Just as long as you do your own research.
What I really should have done was figure out how to ping from my phone to the Ookla services that most likely would have been the most intelligent process!

Is AT&T Blocking Ookla Speedtest App??
One thing about it...all these technological advances are not perfect. Glitches will happen. I find it amazing they all work as well as they do.

Not working today on my ip5s on data with AT&T. Wifi works but that is Comcast.
I am on a grandfathered 200mb plan.
I will check on my wife's ip6 hone she gets home. She is on a grandfathered unlimited plan.
