## What it is
A Node.js CLI tool that tests internet connection speed and ping using speedtest.net. It outputs download/upload speed and ping, with JSON and verbose output options.

## Use cases
- test internet connection speed from the terminal
- measure ping and bandwidth via speedtest.net
- get internet speed results as JSON for scripting
- check download speed in MBps
- run network speed checks in CI or scripts

## When to choose
- you want a quick terminal-based speed test without a browser
- you need machine-readable JSON speed results for automation
- you prefer speedtest.net servers for measurements

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or detailed diagnostics of your network
- you want to test against fast.com instead
- you need continuous bandwidth monitoring rather than one-off tests

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools, analytics
- domain: developer-tools, networking
- platform: cli, cross-platform
