Yes, it made no difference. However by looking at what the speedtest-cli 
python3 
does, and imitating this with wget I got a clearer diagnostic:

My previous guess that the bug would be fixed in Debian 13 looks to be wrong.  
The real problem seems to be that Ookla doesn´t like Starlink, at least those 
Starlink users who land in Paris.
