I'd suggest using iperf instead as it is designed to test this. Get it
from sourceforge. Check out the wikipedia article.<br>

<div style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">Does
anyone have a method for monitoring internet speeds? I want to create
a graph that will basically run a speed test and graph the results
every hour or half hour. I'm not sure on the perl script or how to
create the cron job correctly. I can figure out the timing part, but
the script side, I have no clue. Any suggestions?<br>
