Hey, just saw this new feature on Speedtest.net

They're called Speed Waves, where you all participate and collect results. You can also earn achievements in which you can battle other participants i.e the fastest uploader will get the 1UP achievement.

Join a speed wave:

Neowin.net 2012: Click Me

Help:

Open up the link, create an account if not already got one (optional), and then "Join this Speed Wave"

You will be given the standard Speedtest.net interface on the following page, however all results will be saved to the Wave.

Once you've finished:

Share your username or ID of your result. I am JTaylor69 on the results.

Also state what speed you should be getting. I am on Virgin Media's 30Mb.

You can also see some nice stats by clicking "More Wave Stats" - on here you can see popular browsers, ISPs, bandwidth used, and badge winners.

Poor result? You can try the test as many times as you like! The competition is on guys!

Have fun guys!

lol, redo the test did we?

Jealous, are we?

Well I just had it auto-pick a server, but my geolocation is a bit off apparantly. Manually picked the nearest one and, well, this is the result.

Zomg, no longer first :(

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm
    • Grok Adult Content Tops 10 Billion Images Monthly More than half of all traffic flowing through Grok, Elon Musk's flagship AI product, now comes from users requesting pornographic images, explicit videos, and **** roleplay https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319142/20260626/grok-adult-content-tops-10-billion-images-monthly-xai-engineers-admit-csam-has-no-fix.htm
    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
    • How does the disc d-pad work for fighting games? Has anyone had personal experience with that specific question?
