Hawaii Seeks Internet Speed Tests for Statewide Map

Hawaii is asking that residents become “digital detectives” and conduct internet speed tests on their PCs, through a government website, from Oct. 22 to Nov. 4, said Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke (D). The state will use the results to create a statewide map “that will help to prioritize resources and improve connectivity for underserved areas,” Luke said Tuesday. The Hawaii Department of Education and public charter middle schools will offer prizes to encourage student participation. Residents may report the results of ISP or third party speed tests, like speedtest.net, the state said.
