Whitebox Model Specs

If you’re using one of our older Whitebox models and have recently changed broadband package (speed-tier), it is possible that your Whitebox cannot handle your new speeds. If your new speed-tier exceeds the capabilities of your Whitebox, the results reported may become unreliable. If they were to become unreliable, they cannot be used in any of the national broadband reports. See below for the capabilities of each Whitebox model.
