Can the Same Person Win Multiple Weeks?

Why repeat wins are allowed

The weekly competition is a measurement of real network performance. Users with access to genuinely fast internet infrastructure — enterprise-grade fibre, high-performance symmetric connections, or test locations close to internet exchange points — will naturally and legitimately outperform users on slower plans. Restricting repeat wins would misrepresent the underlying data and undermine the purpose of the competition.

If a user consistently submits the fastest results week after week, it reflects the real state of their internet connection. The Hall of Champions is a historical record of actual internet speeds, not a fairness exercise.

One entry per category per user per week

Running multiple tests per week does not give you multiple competition entries. The rule is: your single best eligible result in each category during the week is your entry. Running 50 tests and getting lucky on one of them counts the same as running two tests — it's the best result that matters, not the number of attempts.

This rule has two implications:

• If your connection speed varies throughout the week (e.g. better at off-peak hours), running tests at those times legitimately gives you a better competition result
• There is no advantage to spamming tests — it does not change your entry beyond what your best result would have been anyway

Winning multiple categories in the same week

A user can win all three categories (download, upload, ping) in the same week if they post the best result in each. These are tracked independently — winning download speed does not affect your standing in upload speed or ping.

The Hall of Champions

The Hall of Champions records every weekly winner in all three categories since the competition launched. Users who win multiple weeks will appear multiple times. There is no separate "all-time winner" title — it is simply a record of each week's results.

How the competition is fair despite this

The competition is not structured to produce different winners each week. It is fair in the sense that:

• Every eligible user competes under the same rules
• Results are validated against the same quality pipeline regardless of who submits them
• No user receives preferential treatment
• Results are not adjusted based on prior performance

Users without access to gigabit fibre connections are unlikely to compete for the download speed category — but they can still compete for the lowest ping category, where connection type matters less than proximity to the test server and network path quality.
