Speedof.me isn't quite what I need, since it requires javascript on the client and I want to run it in an automated script. The tech support guy there made some suggestions I have yet to try - I'll let you know if it works. thinkbroadband.com <http://s.bl-1.com/h/o0w4rd9?url=http://thinkbroadband.com/> will likely work better - I'm guessing you just use wget/curl and take a timestamp right before and right after then do the speed calculation from that. That's a pretty simple script. I'll keep you posted. > On May 15, 2015, at 1:23 PM, Jeff Weinberger <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> Hi: >> >> I know this isn't exactly a Mac question, but I'm hoping you'll forgive >> me and that someone will have some idea.... >> >> I think I am getting highly variable speed from my ISP and rarely getting >> the speed for which I pay.
