I tried to show someone the benefits of wget speedtests in a terminal; they nearly threw-up. People only understand graphical speedometers it seems! So I threw some zenity into the mix.
I really wanted a one-liner solution, but there was a little too much awk needed, so I ended-up filling it out into a small bash script.
There are lots of ways to polish and extend this script, or use the concept for something else.
