My ISP has a FTTH network with coaxial cable running into appartments. In the middle of the day the download speed is so slow that I usually have about only 1% of the bandwith advertised in my agreement. I think they are stingy with adding more peering points... So I have decided to make speed tests every 5 minutes and log the results to have an overview (and make a lots of traffic 😈).
I hope you find it useful, too. Please copy, share, fix and send me feedback (I'm really bad at coding).
- First download Python and speedtest-cli (You can run "chmod +x installAuto-Speedtest.sh && ./installAuto-Speedtest.sh")
- Run
speedtest.sh - Make a crontab entry with your desired time interval (for slower connections use greater time intervals)
- Write a frontend website with graphs and statistics and send me your source code ;-)
- Edit your contab with:
crontab -e - Insert a new line line like
*/5 * * * * /home/username/speedtest.sh > /dev/nullto run every 5 minutes
The generated log file contains a new line for each measurement in the following format:
YEAR-MONTH-DAY;HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND;PING;DOWNLOAD;UPLOAD
The values for PING, DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD are all floating point numbers.
speedtest-cli is a:
Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net
- Download
speedtest-cliin the same directory asspeedtest.sh:wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py - Make it executable:
chmod +x speedtest-cli

Install the Framework for the Display on a Raspberry Pi via:
sudo pip-3.2 install RPLCD
add the display.py to your Directory and activate the Commented Line in the speedtest.sh to start the Script.
Preview
This module is experimental. It generates graphs from the log file which can be used on websites etc.
- Install dependencies (Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-matplotlib - Run it:
python3 graph-builder.py
This reads from test.csv and exports three images called download.png, upload.png and ping.png into the current directory.
- Export/Backup the data
- Export the graph images for specific date ranges (day, month, year, custom range)
- Write HTML code to show the graphs with selection of day, month, year etc. Alpha in index.html + generator.sh
- Traffic extension which calculates the traffic passed through the router and the part of the speed test traffic for a better overview
- Add Automatically Upload to a Website
- Add Capacity, problems with a AVM FritzBox in Internal LAN
