Here I will demonstrate how to use speedtest-cli to check Internet speed from the command line in Linux. For those of you, there is a command-line interface (CLI) version of, known as speedtest-cli. However, if you are trying to check Internet speed from a remote headless server, VPS or an otherwise desktop-less system, 's Flash-based user-friendly interface would be no good. Underneath it, loads JavaScript code in your web browser, which then automatically detects the closest server from you, and measures download/upload speed by sending HTTP GET and POST requests to the server. For that matter, is probably the most widely used broadband speed testing website. When you are experiencing slow Internet access, you may want to test the Internet speed of your upstream ISP (often called last mile in the residential broadband networks) as part of troubleshooting. Just offer the paid app, that was ridiculous.How to check Internet speed from the command line on Linux I won’t support this lack of oversight and abysmal ux. We realize we are getting a free app at this point and ads are one thing but this is almost criminal. I am awe struck at the way this company has handled their application. Then another modal pops up but I had instantly gone to delete the app and write this review. When you hit speed test a full page ad pops up. Then an ad takes over the screen and you are finally free in the app. Immediately after this a modal pops up asking you how you want that to work. Then a modal pops up asking you if they can use your location. Then a modal pops up and asks you if you want to set up a WiFi extender app or service I was so annoyed at this point I dismissed it. Then an ad pops up about a WiFi extender. Then a modal pops up telling you they are not only using tons of ads, they are selling your data. First you have an ad, then immediately after a modal asking you to pay to remove ads, the. Incredibly disruptive modals, terrible ux Write down the speeds and in less than 10 minutes you can stop eating Tylenol, and enjoy hearing your kids yell at someone else online rather than each other. And you will stop having to listen to kids yelling at each other about lag, long load times. parents just get this app, find the hot and cold spots for signal strength. So finding the optimal spot in the house to place the router for strong WiFi speeds for everyone was. I have two kids with xboxes, iPhones, tablets ect. As for the app: it is a very good tool to find hot/cold WiFi spots in your home (or business) check ping, upload/download speeds and monitor the overall use of bandwidth.


I can respect that from a consumer standpoint. Obviously the developers know they have a strong and useful app, and rather than make you pay to remove ads they know that having a product that works as it should will prove the worth of purchasing other products from them. They DONT force you to pay to remove ads.
