b) Crowdsourced measurement campaigns relying on end user initiated measurements using end user equipment.

P172
For the measurement approach based on dedicated clients and servers, simple plausibility checks like time stamps matching the measurement schedule, correct client identification etc. are sufficient, since client and server use dedicated hardware correctly attached to the IAS with software properly installed.

P173
For crowdsourced measurement approaches, more extensive steps should to be taken since the conditions at the client side are not predetermined, i.e. it is unknown whether the client environment fulfils the requirements for an accurate measurement. To some extent this can be cross-checked by the use of metadata (see section 5.2). Also crowdsourced measurements often involve information provided by the end user about the IAS offer being measured, geolocation etc. This information should be validated where possible.

P174
The validation process of end user provided information is a multi-step process, starting with the removal of implausible data.

• Map valid resale scenarios (possible combinations of provider identifiers based on end user information and provider identifiers based on technical metadata).

Cross-checking for the correct measurement set-up is done by the use of metadata as described above. Depending on the end user environment requirements, certain metadata should be collected together with each measurement result. Such records could include terminal equipment connection (e.g. Ethernet, Wi-Fi), type of terminal used, status of terminal equipment (e.g. processor load, cross-traffic, parallel active applications), network environment (firewall) or kind of access technology of IAS (e.g. identifying modem type) etc. as described in section 5.2.

According to the Regulation ISPs must declare the minimum, normally available, maximum and advertised download and upload speed in their fixed network contracts. For mobile network subscriptions ISPs must declare estimated maximum and advertised download and upload speeds.

6.2.1Minimum speed
P182
The minimum speed is the lowest speed that the ISP providing fixed network IAS undertakes to deliver to the end user, according to the contract. The actual speed should not be lower than the minimum speed, except in cases of interruption of the IAS.
Add comment
P183
The minimum speed value defined in the contract should be compared individually for results of each measurement calculated as described in section 3.1.
Add comment
6.2.2Maximum speed and estimated maximum speed
P185
According to the BEREC NN guidelines the maximum speed is the speed that an end user could expect to receive at least some of the time (e.g. at least once a day).
Add comment
P186
The maximum speed value in fixed networks defined in contract should be compared individually for results of each measurement result calculated as described in section 3.1. It is important to compare the maximum speed value against a measurement result and not individual samples within the measurement task or within multiple measurement tasks.
