Quick one today — straight to the point:

Assuming you have Nodejs, otherwise grab it here.

  1. Open the terminal and type the following

npm i -g speed-test

2. Test our connection now

Cool huh.

You can also use the -v or--verbose for verbose stats.

$ speed-test --helpUsage$ speed-testOptions-j, --json     Output the result as JSON-b, --bytes    Output the result in megabytes per second (MBps)-v, --verbose  Output more detailed information
