I've never heard of networkQuality, that's seems like quite a useful tool.

Unfortunately, it's not actually very useful, as whatever server they're using on the other end is severely constrained. networkQuality gives me:

Downlink: 884.856 Mbps, 198 RPM - Uplink: 13.238 Mbps, 198 RPM

whereas speedtest (whether to the official speedtest server OR a friend's home server in their basement!) gives ~700 Mbps uplink.

  • try

      networkQuality -s
    
    

    That's a more apples to apples comparison to speedtest.net; Separate upload and download tests.

    • Somewhat better, 867/114, but still not the symmetric I get on typical real workloads.
