I would like to test the internet connection of some place. Therefore I want to write my own script which is triggered every some random minutes to do some stuff.
I was thinking about:
- Getting the latency until I ping some big site.
- Downloading a big file from somewhere. (Bandwitdh)
But I think this is not reliable as probably the file that I try to get is cached in some provider' server.
Are there more checks necessary to measure the quality of the internet connection (Availability, Latency and Bandwith)?
How can I avoid having my requests cached?
