NetalyzrCLI
something to test your web experience/network, the output is a detailed report from the netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu people, the readme is here, http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/cli.html , and the terminal command/s below will add the jar file and execute the jar, the -q option can be removed if you wish to see the light show, either way a link is output;
wget http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/NetalyzrCLI.jar && java -jar NetalyzrCLI.jar -q
