I also had this problem. Following the instructions on the official website it works.
Go here: https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli First, remove actual speedtest if installed. Follow the official instructions: sudo apt-get install gnupg1 apt-transport-https dirmngr export INSTALL_KEY=379CE192D401AB61 sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $INSTALL_KEY echo "deb https://ookla.bintray.com/debian generic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/speedtest.list sudo apt-get update # Other non-official binaries will conflict with Speedtest CLI # Example how to remove using apt-get # sudo apt-get remove speedtest-cli sudo apt-get install speedtest Run speedtest -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828929 Title: upload speed is reported wrong To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/speedtest-cli/+bug/1828929/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
