A quote from the Debian wiki,

If you are looking for a mirror, use the CDN instead.
Use http://deb.debian.org/ to connect to a CDN that caches packages on a node closest to your geographic and network location.

@UncleSpellbinder

And should security.debian.org also be changed? Like this: security.debian.uchicago.edu?

No. I explicitly wrote non security

So my final testing sources.list should be as follows??

It should/could look like this:

### DEBIAN TESTING ###

deb https://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ testing contrib main non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src https://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ testing contrib main non-free non-free-firmware

deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security/ testing-security contrib main non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src https://security.debian.org/debian-security/ testing-security contrib main non-free non-free-firmware

Just try it out by running apt update.
