Description-en: Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net
Speedtest.net is a webservice that allows you to test your broadband
connection by downloading a file from one of many Speedtest.net
servers from around the world.
.
This utility allows you to use the Speedtest.net service from the
command line.
.
Note: This tool accesses speedtest.net over http, while the web-based client
uses websockets. This tool has shown to become increasingly inacurate with
high-speed connections. For more information, see the readme on:
