Question Running speed test on regular interval and saving results?

[pete6032]

I need to prove to my ISP that I'm not getting the speed they're charging us for. Is there any way I can connect a raspberry pi or have a router conduct a speed test every 4-6 hours so I can collect a few weeks worth of speeds to see when the service is below the promised speeds? What is the best way to do this?

raspberry pi would only have the power to handle about 200mbps at most, so if your internet speeds are faster than that you'd need to use a more powerful device for testing.

As for a router, I know some people run Pfsense and then have a script set up to run the speedtest-cli utility every few hours and log the results, but it's not something that you can just install and get it to do that automatically.
