periodic-speedtest

==================

I don't think my ISP's that great, but I need some proof. This LaunchAgent does

a speed test every 15 minutes.

How much bandwidth does this thing use?

      30 MB/test

       4 tests/hour

      24 hours/day

    × 30 days/month

    ———————————————

      86 GB/month

I have a 250GB/month cap that I never get close to, and I don't plan on running

this permanently, so I figure it's fine.

Requirements

------------

- Mac OS

- [speedtest-cli]: `pip install speedtest-cli`
