A GitHub user created a great speed test CLI script to interface with speedtest.net
Obtain the script:
wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py
Make the script executable:
chmod +x speedtest-cli
Now that we can execute the script the simplest operation is to run it. This will find the closest test server and provide you with download and upload speeds.
./speedtest-cli
The Script can do so much more. Here are are some some examples.
List all Speedtest.net servers:
./speedtest-cli --list
Use specific Speedtest.net servers (SERVER = server ID):
./speedtest-cli --server SERVER
