Check internet speed from the command line

So, i was fiddling with my raspberry pi and thought about checking the internet download and upload speed. After a few searches and tests, this seems to be the easiest and finest solution:

go to the cli and type:

wait for the python script download, then:

and run it:

It will do some settings, some magic, some downloads and uploads and it will tell you how fast you internet is on that computer/fridge/car/cat/raspberry pi (it all depends where you ran it).

You will get something like this, but hopefully with better speeds:

NOTE: If you get an error when doing the ‘wget’, try using the –no-check-certificate switch. You will notice the error will suggest it.

ANOTHER NOTE: you can run the test in a windows command line. If you noticed, the speedtest-cli.py is a python script, so just download it using the link on the wget command and run it from a command line using:

(Assuming you have python installed and on your PATH – and if its done right, you can just call the script without the ‘python’ part)

Not my credit. Got the tip from here:
