Cross-tra
Did you know that…
The Whitebox only runs tests when you’re not
using the internet? It checks your network activity
and if the line is busy, it’ll wait a while and try again
later.
This is called cross tra
We do this so your Whitebox measures your
internet performance under the same network
conditions, and doesn't interfere with your internet
experience!
If you're thinking about signing up for a Whitebox,
please do. But check you don't have CCTV or a
Smart Home System as they cause continual cross
traic.
