    Does anyone know of a speed test where you can set it up to run by itself regularly and push a notification to a channel (like pushbullet or similar) when the speed is below a certain threshold?

    Edit: I went with self hosted speedtest-tracker as a docker container and notifications through Discord webhook.

    Thanks for all the tips!! ❤️

      If I had this requirement I would just generate a file of specific size, place it on one server and on the other I would have a shell script running via cron and measure the time it took to download the file.

      It seems like a relatively simple problem.

      BTW are you sure you want to test download speed and not latency? I think some routers might have the later built in.

        Definitely speed. My ISP runs on another service providers hardware and it bugs out from time to time and I get 1/10th of the speeds I usually have. My ISP has no way of knowing this so I have to know when it happens and place a ticket so they can place a ticket on the hardware guys.

      Funnily enough, I had something exactly like this set up with home assistant. You can add Ookla and fast.com speed tests as devices, which will run the tests periodically, and then I had an automation set up to send me a message via telegram whenever speed was less than half of what it was supposed to be
