My Issue

I'm trying to do something a bit different, I'm running fastcli in a python script. From looking at the code, it seems like I needed to call run directly.

import speedtest
import logging
from fastcli import fastcli

print("\nRunning Ookla Speed Test")
st = speedtest.Speedtest()

# Get the best server
st.get_best_server()

# Run download and upload speed tests
download_speed = st.download() / 1_000_000  # Convert to Mbps
upload_speed = st.upload() / 1_000_000      # Convert to Mbps

# Get ping
ping = st.results.ping

# Print results
print(f"Download Speed: {download_speed:.2f} Mbps")
print(f"Upload Speed: {upload_speed:.2f} Mbps")
print(f"Ping: {ping:.2f} ms")

print("\nRunning Fast Test")
download_speed = fastcli.run(verbosity=logging.DEBUG)
print(f"Download speed from Fast.com {download_speed}")

However, I get a pretty significant discrepancy between both Ookla speed tests and

Running Ookla Speed Test
Download Speed: 257.77 Mbps
Upload Speed: 321.67 Mbps
Ping: 10.66 ms

Running Fast Test
Download speed from Fast.com 120.1284657049353

Ran it a few times, Fast.com also closer to around 250-300

Running Ookla Speed Test
Download Speed: 224.16 Mbps
Upload Speed: 360.97 Mbps
Ping: 9.41 ms

Running Fast Test
Download speed from Fast.com 157.61815666637835

Update: im seeing here #5 that a similar issue was reported - but was this resolved?
