Internet magically gets faster when opening speedtest?
I don't trust speedtests. There are all kinds of wrong incentives, similar to GPU benchmarks. One thing I noticed was that the data speedtest.net sends has really low entropy. It just repeats 10 bytes. If I ran an ISP I would...
So I wrote chargen2p [1] as an extension to the classical chargen protocol.
I use it together with a Prometheus exporter [2] I wrote to periodically check my laptop's connectivity. The actual check runs over Wireguard, since I didn't want to open my chargen2p server to the public. This only checks download speeds, mind you. (The chargen2p library exports upload metrics, but the exporter doesn't use it.)
My graphs tell me the average is ~5 MBps, so 40 Mbps. This is between me (Switzerland) and a Hetzner DC in Germany. speedtest.net just now claimed 160 Mbps.
