Are you in the US? I would try to run tests to the same place to establish consistency in your data (openspeedtest.com). Source: 10 months ago

Hmm I get 57 down and 28 up using openspeedtest.com. Maybe all these speed test sites aren't good. Source: 11 months ago

Playing around with the ER8411 with 5Gbps internet and I am able to get download speeds of 4.9~5.0Gbps but no matter which site I test with; fast.com, wifiman.com, openspeedtest.com, or speedtest.net I am unable to get beyond 1Gbps upload. Source: 11 months ago

Does it affect traffic that's only inside your LAN as well? I use https://openspeedtest.com for doing local speedtests, in case you need a way to test that. Source: about 1 year ago

If you read the docs for Speedtest-CLI you will see that the program timeouts after 10 seconds. Try using this for default timeout of 1 minute and also redirect errors to the same file. Speedtest-cli --timeout 60 >> /bin/speedtestoutput.txt 2>&1. Source: over 1 year ago

Already exists https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/, mature, stable, packaged in major distributions. Source: over 1 year ago

I have an open-source software, which can show some stats about your PC/Server. One of those stats is internet speed. I have been using speedtest-cli for now, since it is open-source and runs without having to accept any license agreements. Source: almost 2 years ago

Ah that makes sense then. You could try out https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli instead on Ubuntu and see what that comes up with but if it’s still detecting a random, far-away server then you’ll have to use the help options to narrow down your test to your country. Or better yet, try and use the same one that’s fine on your PC 🙏. Source: about 2 years ago
