"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
– John F. Kennedy, February 26, 1962.
Nice.
It got me a bit confused at first, because it said: Testing download speed...
Download: 90.99 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed...
Upload: 88.75 Mbit/s
During which my conky was reporting over 11.5 MiB/sconsistently. So I did the conversion, and 91Mbit/s is 11.375 Mbyte/s.
Which looks about right.
But, MiB is mebibytes And 91 Mbit/s is "only" 10.848 Mib/s.
So, is my conky reporting MB/s and saying it's MiB/s? So, I'm still confused :·)
Anyway, I did:
speedtest-cli --bytes
Testing download speed...
Download: 11.24 Mbyte/s
Testing upload speed...
Upload: 10.88 Mbyte/s
(speeds vary quite a bit between tests)
Which is pretty much what my conky says, whether it's MBs or MiBs or whatever is of little concern to me, it's still quite satisfactory a speed.
Conclusion: I don't need the tool at all because I have my faithful conky there all the time :·) but it's a nice little tool.
