Speed Test

I would be really good if we can see the internet speed without having to log onto the computer and run speedtest.net

Hi,

I've found this script on reddit which reports back the Download speed:

$a=Get-Date; Invoke-WebRequest http://client.akamai.com/install/test-objects/10MB.bin|Out-Null; "$((10/((Get-Date)-$a).TotalSeconds)*8) Mbps"

You can use this as an automation script and run it on demand from your phone.

For me (Powershell 2 - yes I really must update!!!), this had an error. However, the below works (as a single line)

$a=Get-Date; $web = New-Object Net.WebClient; $web.DownloadString("http://client.akamai.com/install/test-objects/10MB.bin") | out-null; $t = "$((10/((Get-Date)-$a).TotalSeconds)*8) Mbps"; $t
