It works fine for me. But I have a ping time under 15ms to the servers. If you know python, the source code is in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py Add some diagnostic output to figure out why it says it can't connect to servers & fix whatever. If you don't know python.. well.. as with most all open source code, you're SOL unless someone takes pity on you Synaptic says the homepage for speedtest-cli is https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli where.. again.. you're screwed. There is no "issues" link where one would be able to create a "does not work for me" issue requesting help. & I don't know python, so I can't help either :( Regards Lee
