Python Internet Speed Test

This is a small, lightweight utility that tests the Internet connection at set intervals. I wrote it to prove to the people who manage my Internet that it's really bad. It takes periodic (or not-so-periodic) samples of your Internet speed. Statistics recorded are upload speed, download speed, ping time, and if something fails reason for failure.

Documentation can be found here

Quick start

Download your appropriate executable from here, put it somewhere you'll remember, run it and click the Start button. If you want to make my life a bit better, before you click start, type in the Location field where you are (be descriptive, but brief. For example, here, I write "McVey 3rd north", not "404 Stanford Road, Grand Forks, ND 58202 ..."). After a little while, click the Stop button, and then the Upload button. Repeat until you don't want to anymore.

Windows users may receive SmartScreen warnings; click Run Anyways if it's available, if not, click More Info then it should show up. I promise this doesn't do anything bad.

What does it look like?
