Create a script to test internet speed

Here’s a simple Python script to test your internet speed using the popular speedtest-cli library. It measures download speed, upload speed, and ping.

python
CopyEdit
import speedtest

def test_internet_speed():
    st = speedtest.Speedtest()
    print("Finding best server...")
    st.get_best_server()
    
    print("Testing download speed...")
    download_speed = st.download() / 1_000_000  # Convert to Mbps
    
    print("Testing upload speed...")
    upload_speed = st.upload() / 1_000_000  # Convert to Mbps
    
    ping_result = st.results.ping
    
    print(f"Download Speed: {download_speed:.2f} Mbps")
    print(f"Upload Speed: {upload_speed:.2f} Mbps")
    print(f"Ping: {ping_result} ms")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_internet_speed()

To run this script, first install the library with:

bash
CopyEdit
pip install speedtest-cli

Run the script in your terminal or command prompt, and it will output your internet speed test results.
