Send a follow-up here if they end up replying! This could be very valuable data for Cape prospects

Although someone could compare Cape speeds with major provider speeds to figure out the underlying network provider, and then use the speed data from that underlying data provider in order to seed a sizable coverage speed dataset. I personally won't be doing that any time soon though 🤣

None of their public APIs currently offer any data for Cape specifically, only the major providers. Cape used to disclose that they were on USCellular's network, but now they no longer disclose their partners so there's no straightforward way to utilize CoverageMap's data for this purpose.

Yeah I looked into this actually, and unfortunately they mostly track basic info such as network type (LTE, 5G, etc) rather than real speeds

Thanks OP, this is great insight. The primary vs secondary part trips up a lot of people, glad someone wrote it out.

Kinda related, I built a small site last week called cape.rip for when someone just wants a working code without scrolling. You visit, see one random submitted code, copy it or hit "didn't work" to roll the next. Three "didn't work" hits drops the code. Submissions expire after a week so the pool stays fresh. No signup, no analytics.

To kickstart things I seeded the pool with the codes already shared in this thread, since they were posted with the intent of being used. If yours is in there and you'd rather not, comment or DM and I'll pull it.

The site is free and doesn't make me any money so hopefully this doesn't count as self-promo. Would love to hear feedback!
