Microsoft's Surprise Decision on Internet Speed Test Tool. 🛜🚄
Microsoft has decided to replace its in-house speed test service on the Bing search engine with Ookla's Speedtest.net tool. This change allows users to seamlessly utilize the Speedtest service without leaving the search engine.
Introduced in 2016, Microsoft added a feature to Bing that allowed users to test their internet connection speeds by simply typing "speedtest" into the search box. This test was conducted directly by Microsoft, providing a convenient way for users to check their internet speeds without navigating away from Bing search results.
Before this integration, users wanting to know their internet speeds had to perform a Bing search for a speed test, then navigate to any result to initiate the test. The local speed test integration streamlined the process, enabling users to discover their internet speeds without leaving the Bing search results page.
Microsoft has now made a surprising decision to replace its proprietary speed test service with Ookla's Speedtest.net, a widely used service for analyzing internet performance. The new speed test is available on the Bing search engine worldwide, accessible by simply typing "hız testi" (speed test) into the search bar.
Upon performing the related search, users will immediately see the speed test within the search results page. Clicking the Start button initiates the test, and users can view download and upload speeds along with latency, similar to the previous Microsoft widget.
Users who want a more accurate measurement of their internet service provider's speed can repeat the test as many times as needed.
Ookla's Speedtest.net, launched in 2006, is widely used with 18M daily tests and 51B tests globally. With 16K servers, it's accessible on various platforms, including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and more. Ookla offers VPN services for iOS and Android at $4.99/month. Now integrated into Bing, it's a trusted tool for testing internet speeds.

Turkey Achieves 1 Terabit Internet Speed.
Turkey has etched its name in the history books of digital innovation. A recent collaboration between Türk Telekom and Nokia has successfully demonstrated internet speeds reaching 1 Terabit per second (Tbps) on the Istanbul-Ankara route, making Turkey the first country globally to achieve such blazing speeds across long distances.
Pushing Technological Boundaries
At the heart of this achievement lies Nokia's advanced Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology. This innovative system enables multiple data streams to travel simultaneously through a single optical fiber, effectively multiplying the capacity of existing infrastructure. The breakthrough doesn't just represent a speed increase – it delivers 2.5 times faster transmission while maintaining impressive energy efficiency.
Why This Matters for Turkey's Digital Future
In our increasingly connected world, the appetite for data continues to grow exponentially. From streaming services to cloud computing, from artificial intelligence to virtual reality, modern applications demand ever-higher bandwidth. This breakthrough positions Turkey at the forefront of meeting these evolving needs.
The implications are far-reaching:
Healthcare Revolution: Imagine instantaneous transmission of complex medical imaging data between hospitals or real-time remote surgery capabilitiesSmart Cities: Enhanced capabilities for managing traffic systems, public services, and urban infrastructure in real-timeIndustrial Innovation: Support for Industry 4.0 initiatives requiring massive data processing and minimal latencyDigital Entertainment: Next-generation gaming and streaming experiences with zero buffering
Technical Achievement
According to Zafer Orhan, Türk Telekom's Network General Manager, this milestone represents more than just a speed record – it's a testament to Turkey's commitment to digital transformation. The company's strategic focus on fiber-optic technology development aims to future-proof both consumer and business connectivity needs.
Nokia's contribution through their sixth-generation Photonic Service Engine (PSE-6s) played a crucial role in this achievement. As explained by Erensoy Bilgin, Nokia Turkey's General Manager, the PSE-6s technology enables massive data transmission while maintaining optimal energy efficiency – a critical factor in sustainable technological advancement.
