Crazy idea...
Phone OS developers often fight with carriers about the network labels that get displayed on a phone's status bar. Carriers often demand a certain name and label to be shown.
Apple does some shitty stuff, but they have often been able to strong-arm carriers into industry-wide customer experience improvements, because they have a monopoly on iOS and have fast OS update adoption. Apple should just push a software update that always shows bandwidth instead of "4G," "LTE," "5G." Then they should update their maps app to show crowd sourced bandwidth speeds across a carriers's network.
Air their dirty laundry and watch them squirm.
Good idea on theory but it would have to constantly be doing speed tests in the background and those eat up a ton of bandwidth. All the phone knows is what kind of network it's connected to and what kind of signal strength it has
Cellular networks a can already monitor bandwidth, signal strength, packet loss, etc. They just need to expose that data to the public. There is no need for extra “speed tests.” The network’s speed can be measured during an upload / download to a phone.
That's not an effective metric because you don't know the network speed of the host that the user was downloading from. It's impossible to tell if the network is slow, or the site they visited was throttled to .5mb. speed tests work because the server you're downloading from is a known entity
