Title: Speedtest via CLI
Post by: burakkucat on June 30, 2020, 06:02:34 PM
This will probably interest Weaver (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=1217) and I decided to post the results here rather than clutter his "All-time highest upstream measured speed of 1.86 Mbps TCP throughput: AA tester" (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,24894.0.html) topic.

[bcat ~]$ speedtest-cli --help
Usage: speedtest-cli [options]

Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net.
