From 588b633ddaaf25b95380753d819ca52793833777 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dennis Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 15:33:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify manual polling option for speedtest (#28609) The ability to disable polling and customize it via a service call completely slipped me by while reading the page.
