The Raspberry Pi is a perfect candidate to run an internet speed monitor as it has a relatively low power usage.
Please note to maximize the accuracy of your Raspberry Pi internet speed monitor. You should make use of the ethernet connection. Wi-Fi can introduce other slowdowns that may not represent your actual internet connection.
An internet speed monitor has a variety of beneficial uses.
It can be used to monitor your internet connection actively. This can help diagnose issues with your internet that occur during certain times or events such as rain.
As you can set the internet speed monitor to log your data continuously, you can use it as proof to convince your internet service provider that there is an actual issue with your connection.
The script that you will be writing within this video will write the download and uploads speed alongside the ping to a CSV file. Each entry will have the current date and time included alongside it.
