speedtest CLI dying out
-
This method is pretty bulletproof for me:
As per this page How To Install Speedtest-cli On a FreeBSD To Check Internet Speed, I simply ran these two commands in the GUI at Diagnostics / Command Prompt / Execute Shell Command:
pkg search speedtestThis returned the following:
py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3
Command line interface for testing internet bandwidthso I ran this command:
pkg install -y py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3Then from there I simply run speedtest
-
@sebm That method works because the issue has been fixed. Previously, it was broken.
-
@kevinrice Great, so now that it's been fixed and I wrote down a simple step-by-step, anybody who comes here in the future knows what to do... I love it when a plan comes together!
-
@sebm Until it breaks next revision! ;)
-
@kevinrice Then one can browse to Ookla's Speedtest, run:
sudo pkg add "https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/ookla-speedtest-1.0.0-freebsd.pkg"Then when this is fixed, they can run:
pkg remove --y speedtestAnd rinse and repeat steps from there:
@sebm said in speedtest CLI dying out:Simple. Unintrusive. I likes

@sebm Until Ookla revises... Never ending battle.
-
@kevinrice I'd like to thank you for having published a workaround (option #3).
-
@sebm And, thank you for providing the current solution! I'm actually going to use it right now.
-
@sebm Yup. Works great! Thx.

@kevinrice wowza, that upload speed

@sebm GPON fiber. Race Communications home service. $60/mo.

@kevinrice I was paying $45 for 100/5 and just upgraded to 400/10 for $70... Something to keep in mind if I relocate.
-
@sebm Yeah, coax doesn't give much upload. At least the ISPs don't.

@kevinrice Do you have a Netgate appliance? If yes which one?

@sebm 5100
