Execute run speed tests and tweet about your ISP's degraded service.
Python script uses selenium webdriver to scrap speedtest results and tweets them at configured ISP.
Script result includes:
- Download speed (Mbps)
- Upload speed (Mbps)
- Latency (msec)
- Jitter (msec)
Speed tests are done against MLAB, but webdriver scraps embeded iFrame.
