Yea, I’d say upload like a maniac when using speed-test! Sindri has magic powers!
Some other people have seen this too, but I haven't been able to reproduce. This has to be fixed in the speedtest-net module which is what this module depends on to get the speed results.
I've opened an issue over there: ddsol/speedtest.net#11
Keeping this open for discovery, but please post your finding and continue the discussion over there.
Welp, from Europe (Paris more precisely) speed-test reports completely inaccurate results. I suspect it's trying to connect to an extremely far away node.

@olivierlacan Did you just install it? If not, try reinstalling it completely, per ddsol/speedtest.net#11 (comment), this should be fixed by now.
@sindresorhus All good, thanks. Hadn't updated in a while I guess.
Every other speed test aligns with the theoretical speed I should be getting, namely 300Mb/s give or take .. However, speed-test shows a consistent speed of 45 Mb/s:

Compare to "fast" (the old one I used to use) :
✝ ~ fast
300 Mbps
+1, getting similarly wonky results
Nothing we can do about it here. This is just a wrapper around speed-test. This is the relevant discussion.
