Yeah, fast.com (which is Netflix) and speedtest.net are unfortunately not useful tests.

Try with LibreSpeed?

For those who need to document lower speeds than SLAs from their ISPs, this will help you check for chicanery, shenanigans, and sneaky QoS. Recommend.

For simple, web-based speedtests on a local LAN/WLAN, I like librespeed[1]. Really helps identify subpar WiFi coverage (for example), better than just signal strength. Runs nicely on a Pi, up to line rate (1 Gbps) on a Pi 4.
