High-vote services get prioritized for outreach

What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

On an MTN mobile connection the fast.com speed test stopped at zero with "Could not reach our servers to perform the test", repeated several times, while the page itself loaded. The same test returned a measurement earlier the same day on another Syrian network.

Landing pageWorks

The fast.com page opened normally in Chrome on Android from a Syrian IP address, showing its logo, language menu and speed display. Only the speed test itself failed, which is recorded under core use.
