### RESULTS ###
I recently noticed some discrepancies between the "speedtest-cli"
results when installed using the "apt" package manager vs running the
script itself.
I noticed that when using Armbian Buster OS
(https://www.armbian.com/rock64/) on a Rock64 ARM processor based single
board computer where "speedtest-cli' was installed via the apt package
manager the tool very different results (lower values) when compared to
running the speedtest-cli.py (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel
/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py) script using Python 2.7.15.
The repository and package version used to install "speedtest-cli":
speedtest-cli/bionic,bionic,now 2.0.0-1 all [installed]

I have also tested this on Raspbian Buster and Fedora Workstation 31 and no
such discrepancies were noticed.
