Microsoft is testing a new feature for Bing: the ability to check your internet’s speed right on Bing’s search results. Currently, you probably use a site like SpeedTest.net to test your internet’s speed — however, with Bing’s new Speed Test experience, you will be able to test your internet’s speed right on the search results which is pretty handy. The feature is not available to all users right now, and it’s pretty likely you won’t be able to view it just yet. However, some users are able to use Bing’s new Speed Test expericence right now — one of our editors were able to try it out on Opera for Android, and here’s how it looks like:

To view your internet’s speed, you just need to search “Speed Test” on Bing. In a statement to VentureBeat, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that the company is, indeed, working on a new Speed Test experience:

“We’re always testing new experiences for Bing, which includes the Speed Test experience. We have nothing further to share at this time.”

We will let you know when the company officially launches this feature for all users. Until then, tell us what you think of Bing’s new Speed Test feature in the comment section below.
