​

Who can participate?​

Challenges that are directed to specific Internet Service Providers have been sent to that organization’s designated point of contact, who will have received an email notification with instructions for rebuttal submission. Internet Service Providers will have 40 days from the date they receive their email notification for a valid challenge to submit a rebuttal. Click the links below to view submitted challenges.

  • Nonprofit Organizations​​

  • Tribal or Local Governments

  • Educational organizations that are either a unit of local or Tribal government of a nonprofit (such as a public school district or public university)

 

Challenges that are not directed to a particular Internet Service Provider (such as a planned service challenge) may be rebutted by other eligible challengers. These challenges are included on the Open Rebuttal Map inside the Challenge Portal for review and rebuttal. Rebuttals to challenges that are posted on the Open Rebuttal Map must be submitted within 40 days from the date the challenge is posted on the map. Click the link below to view a list of submitted challenges for open rebuttal.

How to Participate: Internet Service Providers

To rebut a speed test challenge for a single location, ISPs will need to run a speed test from the head end server to the connected device’s IP address. They will also need to submit the following information and supporting evidence:

​

  • 3 speed test measurements, taken on different days between the hours of 7-11 PM

  • Broadband serviceable location (BSL) id number for the location

  • Time and date the speed test was conducted

  • Provider-assigned internet protocol (IP) address, either version 4 or version 6, identifying the residential gateway conducting the test

  • The speed test evidence documentation should come from a system report, screen shots, or other data sources that can be verified rather than just submitting them on a spreadsheet.​

An ISP may rebut an area speed test challenge by providing speed tests for at least 10% of the customers in the challenged area. The customers must be randomly selected (UBC will provide a random list of locations in the area for the ISP to use to identify customers). ISPs must apply the 80/80 rule, i.e., 80% of these locations must experience a speed that equals or exceeds 80% of the speed threshold. Only speed tests conducted by the provider between the hours of 7 pm and 11 pm local time will be considered as evidence for a challenge rebuttal. The evidence documentation for each location must follow the evidence requirements for individual speed test rebuttals

How to Participate: Other Entities​
