Test wifi connection

Rate wifi by testing connection speed

How do you propose to do this?
I think we'd have to set up some kind of test payloads of different sizes, start downloading and finally time the download. We'd also have to the several measurements and average them out.
Also, this would obviously has to be done from the device, and then some sort of reporting API would be needed.
Marking as both service and iOS issue.

Yes, we have to do something like that, the device will report to the service time and file size downloaded. The server will do all calculation needed.
End user will be able optionally to test wifi.

"The server will do all calculation needed."

file size in KB / time in seconds

Easily done on device ;-)

Although this will not be an indicator of neither link quality nor wi-fi service quality, just downlink speed.

service will calculate an average of all testing in the same location
