speedtest CLI dying out

KevinRice

@sebm That method works because the issue has been fixed. Previously, it was broken.

SebM

@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!

KevinRice

@sebm Until it breaks next revision! ;)

SebM

@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 speedtest

And rinse and repeat steps from there:

Simple. Unintrusive. I likes

KevinRice

@sebm Until Ookla revises... Never ending battle.

SebM

@kevinrice I'd like to thank you for having published a workaround (option #3).

KevinRice

@sebm And, thank you for providing the current solution! I'm actually going to use it right now.

KevinRice

@sebm Yup. Works great! Thx.

@kevinrice wowza, that upload speed

KevinRice

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

SebM

@kevinrice I was paying $45 for 100/5 and just upgraded to 400/10 for $70... Something to keep in mind if I relocate.

KevinRice

@sebm Yeah, coax doesn't give much upload. At least the ISPs don't.

SebM

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