When I was trying to speedtest with speedtest-cli on Ubuntu 16.08, there’s good enough for download but the way i can’t understand there’s too low upload speed. Is this the real upload speed or the results are wrong?

Hello,
I’ve recently answered the same question here:
It seems to be a problem with the version that comes by default from the Ubuntu repos.
I’ve just tested that and indeed I got the same results. Then I used the strace command to strace the process and I noticed that during the Upload tests the connections to speedtest.net were timing out.
I would recommend following the steps from the answer above on how to get the latest version which will work as expected.
Best, Bobby
