Hey folks. Share your Pi Speedtests! Let's see who has the Pi with the fastest internet connection

Remember to remove your public IP address!

Run this command from a terminal Source here! It's 100% safe.

With my VPN connected via Wireguard:

This is why I love Wireguard. Almost no loss of speed when using it what-so-ever. I'll edit this post later with tests using openvpn to show the difference. In the past openvpn has been much slower.

@ghettopi
Nice idea, especially to compare VPN speeds.

Note (for others) that Python is required to run this script. It is Python 3 compatible, which I would then recommend:
apt install python3

Wow, thank you... very nice script

Here is my results:

Please, can I use and modify Your script to periodically measure internet speed and save it to table or DB? Thx

There are a couple of cool Grafana dashboards arevailable. Maybe you like to have a look to this one https://github.com/psilvaazevedo/TICK-Speedtest-Grafana

Grafana + InfluxDB are available via DietPi software

Thanks for the script, it's real useful.

But by God does it feel bad:

Code: Select all

Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Testing from ********** Private Limited (103.**.***.62)...

Perhaps one day I'll get the same speeds as the ones I read here

I'll share mine. Twisted pair goes to the next ISP's node. The node itself is connected by fiber. All network is approximately 10 years old.
11$ or 9€ per month including IP TV. ISP offers 500 Mb/s down. Real speed varies from 350 to 600 Mb/s.
