## What it is
A Python-based command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net servers. It measures download and upload speeds and can output results in human-readable, CSV, or JSON formats.

## Use cases
- check my internet download and upload speed from the terminal
- run a speedtest.net bandwidth test in a script
- get speed test results as JSON or CSV for logging
- test bandwidth against a specific speedtest server
- generate a shareable speed test results image URL

## When to choose
- you need quick internet speed measurements from the command line
- you want scriptable speed test output in JSON or CSV
- you need a lightweight Python tool with no heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need modern Python 3.8+ support or active development
- you want to test against non-speedtest.net servers or use Ookla's official client features
- you need continuous network monitoring rather than one-off tests
