Speed Test - Raspberry PI

We were having some problems with consistent internet speed. I wanted to see how it varied over time by gathering a week’s worth of data and visualizing it with D3.

One option was to manually run the speed tests periodically. A more sane option, was to have a program do this.

I didn’t want to leave my computer forever on to accomplish this. And there was a Raspberry Pi sitting unused, that could stay running for days on end happily. So Pi it was.

But how to write such a program?
