Considering the domains this is likely a network test, though it may be reporting the results of the connection to bing.com to cxcs, which apparently collects telemetry.

On one hand, I get it - a lot of us ping google.com to quickly check the network - doesn't mean we're sending spy data to Google. On the other hand, it would be nice if this was more transparent, perhaps asking if it can perform the test.
