Testing Network Speed (provider)

[akreaxun]

Hi folks

Got a question you may be able to answer:

System: Amahi 9, directly on HDD, i.e. headless system

Question: How can I do a broadband speedtest to see if my provider is delivering the bandwith he promises?

Already checked:

• speedtest-cli (https://askubuntu.com/questions/104755/ ... a-terminal) does not seem to work. When I enter ./speedtest-cli in the terminal I don't get any output (goes back to command prompt).
• speedtest.net mini does not work either after installation...
• --> speedtest need to be run on amahi, as this computer is the only one directly connected via Gbit LAN to the router

Try following the How To Install Speedtest-cli On a CentOS / RHEL / Scientific / Fedora Linux To Check Internet Speed guidance.

I tested it and worked fine for me.
