So now my mobile provider has granted my unlimited mobile data use, for almost two days. (I dunno why, a promotion of some kind. My haphazard guess is, they couldn't risk it on the day the German national team played, which was yesterday, and maybe had initially reserved it for the quarter final or whatever. Who cares.)

For testing I might peruse any or all of these, which works great for testing throughput as long as you have a shell:

Beginner level

while true; do wget -4 -O /dev/null "http://www.download-test.net/index.php?download=1&file_name=05-gb";done

while true; do wget -O /dev/null "http://speedtest.de.telekom-vpn.net/download/1GB.bin";done

while true; do wget -4 -O /dev/null "http://dl.dashnet.ovh/1GB";done

while true; do wget -4 -O /dev/null "http://fra36-speedtest-1.tele2.net/1GB.zip";done

while true; do wget -4 -O /dev/null "http://speedtest.meerfarbig.net/testfiles/1G";done

while true; do wget -4 -O /dev/null "http://212.183.159.230/1GB.zip";done

while true; do wget -4 -O /dev/null "http://speedtest.wobcom.de/sparsefiles/1G";done

while true; do wget -O /dev/null "http://speedtest.de.telekom-vpn.net/download/1GB.bin";done

Next level

while true; do wget -O /dev/null "http://speed.hetzner.de/10GB.bin";done

while true; do wget -O /dev/null " http://speedtest.tele2.net/1000GB.zip";done

However with an android phone, how do I even output to /dev/null? For now I'd think I'd be tethering to my linux laptop...
