speedtest-cli must be installed before using this skill. See setup.md for installation instructions.

Notes#

• Tests connect to the nearest Ookla/Speedtest server by default.
• Results vary by server distance, network congestion, and host resources.
• For repeated monitoring, schedule via cron with JSON output and log results.
