    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!! ❤️

      Fair warning that this would chew through a ton of bandwidth if you run it often, so only do it if you don’t have bandwidth caps.

          True, although once per hour would still be a lot of data.

          For example me running a fast.com test uses about 1.5GB of data to run a single test, so around 1TB per month if ran hourly.

            Once every 6hrs would only be 180GB. A script that does it every six hours, but then increases the frequency if it goes below a certain threshold, could work well. I guess it all depends on how accurate you need the data to be.
