I'm on a Mac and launch 40 speedtests at the same time and monitor interface
bandwidth
#!/bin/bash
for i in `./speedtest-cli --list | cut -f1 -d')' | head -n 40`; do
./speedtest-cli --server $i & done
I've been able to saturate 10G links with this method

I'm curious what people here have found as a good standard for providing
solid speedtest results to customers. All our techs have Dell laptops of
various models, but we always hit 100% CPU when doing a Ookla speedtest for a
server we have on site. So then if you have a customer paying for 600M or 1000M
symmetric, they get mad and demand you prove it's full speed. At that point we
have to roll out different people with JDSU's to test and prove it's functional
where a Ookla result would substitute fine if we didn't have crummy laptops
possibly. Even though from what I can see on some google results, we exceed the
standards several providers call for.
Most of these complaints come from the typical "power" internet user of
course that never actually uses more than 50M sustained paying for a
residential connection, so running a circuit test on each turn up is uncalled
for.
Anyone have any suggestions of the requirements (CPU/RAM/etc) for a laptop
that can actually do symmetric gig, a rugged small inexpensive device we can
roll with instead to prove, or any other weird solution involving ritual
sacrifice that isn't too offensive to the eyes?
