Built myself an automated speedtester thanks to Jeff Geerling. Initially it was to diagnose a problem which it helped with very well. Everything seems to be running pretty well now. I have a fairly new 900Mbps download connection with 100 Mbps upload.
The speedtester uses speedtest.net every 5 seconds and records the result. It averages the results out over 7 days and I currently have 5 days of good speeds and it is showing 666 down and 96 up which as I say is pretty good, should be a bit better when I have a full 7 days of data.
The issue (if it is an issue) is the occasional spike, rarely but on occasion the download drops below 100Mbps and there are other more minor fluctuations.
Is that just the way it is? or should I investigate further - how?
Thanks
