Hi,

sorry for not leaving a comment on this (I need to add that to the wiki when we do a rollback).

I thought that it would be better to either link this discussion or reference it elsewhere. I do not think that we need to have an extra paragraph on the wiki for this, because I consider these speed tests always as unreliable. Benchmarks are always flawed in one way or another. I highly doubt that this is because of the Python implementation.

Speed tests are just some kind of indication about what has gone through your link at a certain point in time. They are not reproducible at all.

I agree, however, for me, running IPFire in my home lab, speedtest-cli delivers enough information to get at least an impression what’s going on or if the speed decreases significantly over a a certain period of time.
