Speed test sites are slow, ad-heavy, and only show you one number. Most CLI alternatives measure download speed and stop there. I wanted the full picture in one shot plus I don't want to start my browser and search for speed test, so I built tracerate, a pure Python, no daemons, no accounts.
Measures download/upload speed (Mbps).
Provides ping and packet loss data.
Assigns a bufferbloat grade (A+ to F).
