A small project to monitor your home internet speed with a Raspberry Pi and Google Sheets. I don't think this is a novel idea at all but still want to share.
The discrepancy could be due to where the Pi is located as Wifi signal can vary dramatically and different chips handle things better. I thought my ISP was to blame till I tried connecting to the router via Ethernet.
I got myself a 5Ghz router as there was a lot of noise on shared channels with neighbors. I went from ~15Mbps to 108Mbps.
It is command line client of https://librespeed.org/ . Librespeed by default is privacy respecting and hence maybe safer than ookla . Also, it lets you to host backend servers if you want to (By default, it has number of servers available)
You're right. In fact I could have just created a csv in the first place, and copied it over to g drive. But I was curious about fire store so I may have used it without thinking too hard about it.
