As NetWallah said, thanks for the speedtest-cli information.

I propose you another solution, even if not intended to measure the whole line speed but the speed of web access, and produces, if told, one line per access. At least you can compare results to further analyze your line degradation. You can find my WebTimeLoad0.23.pl here. You can use -v, -s and -c to bend it at your needs.

#    -c --count    how many times repeat the check. default is 1
#    -s --sleep    seconds between checks. default is 1.
#    -v --verbosity from 0 (one line output for each check) to 3. defa
+ult 1
