Powershell – Use Speedtest CLI to Monitor Broadband speeds – Part 1

Powershell – Use Speedtest CLI to Monitor Broadband speeds – Part 1

After having some speed issues I wanted to create a script to document these into an easy to access table that I could see what was happening. So rather than reinventing the wheel, Ookla offer a Python application that will display your internet speeds from the commandline… if thats your wish; and in my case, it was!

My main wants in this were:

  • Create a PowerShell script to get the information I wanted
  • Output the results to a CSV
  • Use scheduled Tasks to run the script hourly
  • Upload the results to a local web server and display in a HTML table
