The SpeedTest website uses a Flash program that may not work on many Linux browsers. If you prefer to check the download and upload bandwidth from the shell, that is easy.
Install the speedtest-cli
Python module from PyPI:
$ sudo pip install speedtest-cli
Run the test:
$ speedtest-cli
Tried with: speedtest-cli 0.3.4 and Ubuntu 15.10
