    Hey guys, my friends and I in South Africa are curious to see what internet speeds the rest of the world has so we've started a speed wave. We want as many people as we can get to join this wave and do an internet speed test. The purpose is mainly just to compare them and we are specifically interested in people who have their internet supplied by google fibre.

    It would be a great help if yall could just follow this link and do a quick test for us. We'd appreciate it greatly :D I look forward to some interesting results. Also, please try not to laugh too hard at South Africa's internet :p

    To the Mods: I'm not sure if this counts as advertising or spamming at all so if it does, I apologise and please don't hesitate to close the thread. I just came here because it is the fastest and easiest way to get a diverse range of results. Thanks!

    Here's the link: Follow it, click the big button in the corner that says "Join the wave" and then click "Begin Test" and when it's finished you're done!

    I still had to do a new speedtest, considering my ISP had upgraded my internet package for free, giving me even higher speeds than before! Even with the bottleneck that my wireless adapter puts on it, I'm getting very good results now. Thanks for reminding me, and I'm glad I can be of some help to your experiment. ^w^

    Wow, there is such a huge difference here... American internet is at least 3 times faster than the fastest line available in South Africa...
