Try and measure the actual speed of free WiFi network in Da Nang city

Today, when I went to the beach with my friends in Da Nang, when I pulled out my phone to go to Facebook to see what's hot, I was immediately taken to a notice board introducing the free WiFi service in the city. Da Nang city.

At this time, I suddenly remembered that the leadership of Da Nang is installing and testing some WiFi broadcasting stations at certain routes and areas. I went around to see that WiFi stations were placed on high lamp posts in the following areas: Pham Van Dong Beach, along the length of Pham Van Dong Street, the intersection just before the Han River Bridge, Le Loi Street just before Phan Chau Trinh school (and some other roads, but I don't have time to go). I observed that a few dozen meters away, there was a station, the stations were located quite high, so I had to pay close attention to see it.

Stop the car under a lamppost equipped with a WiFi transmitter to start testing and measuring the actual speed. Accordingly, as I said above, after activating WiFi on your device, the smartphone / tablet / laptop will be taken to the notification area with the words: "Welcome to the service test system. WiFi in Da Nang City ", here you will be provided with some terms before use. After clicking "Agree", the user will be granted an ID and Password - Both do not allow us to edit and just below the note: " You have 20 minutes to access the service". Next, press the " Login " button and you can enjoy the feeling of using " WiFi temple" within 20 minutes.

Note: With one device, you only have access to free WiFi for 20 minutes a day. That means with 1 device, we will have: 20 minutes / use / day.

Update: Some of you told me that, after 20 minutes of use, you need to perform a confirmation from the beginning to use it again, but when you try it, it won't work. Some of you can and some of you can't do it, maybe we will know more about the way of the WiFi station after Danang popularizes this WiFi network throughout the city.

Speed

The most important part is the actual speed of this free WiFi network.

1. Stand position: right under the WiFi transmitter.
2. Upload speed: 1.63 Mbps.
3. Download speed: 1.93 Mbps.
4. Ping reached 14 ms.

Of course this number can change if you move to another location, or there is an obstacle, but here I want to get the best speed of each WiFi station.

Practical applications and future plans

Obviously, you will say 20 minutes of free WiFi, what will you do ?. Of course, Da Nang leadership has calculated a lot of time with 20 minutes on: With 20 minutes visitors can look up information about the place, use Google Maps, view the weather, send email quickly, or view the Local delicacies. That also makes tourists feel comfortable in Da Nang, because they will know more information about this coastal city thanks to the Internet.

Satisfaction will lead to love, and that's what Danang wants. City leaders want to attract more domestic and foreign tourists, Da Nang wants to create the most favorable conditions for visitors to have a full outing.

Of course, 20 minutes is too short for us to watch YouTube, watch movies or play a Dota game, so give up that dream.
