Also, sunet have an exceptionally good, fast, and stable internet connection so I figure they are an excellent choice to test against. I found a 10MB file on, which is the university network in Sweden, where many clients are. This is because if a client has a slow uplink to internet, it's not a clever idea to choke their already limited speed with large test files. Measure-Commandįirst, I made a function which measure how long it takes to download a 10MB file. This way we can notice if they have a problem even before they contact us.
We handle the network for many clients, and this helps us measure and see that our clients' networks deliver the speed that is expected.
But of course, you can! I was tasked to create a script that measure the performance of the internet connection using Powershell.
