Bredbandskollen CLI

To measure connection speed in an environment that is missing a web browser, for example, in a server, you can use our command line interface bbk_cli, which is available for some of the most common operating systems.

Installation on Windows

If you know that you have a 64-bit Windows, you can download https://frontend.bredbandskollen.se/download/bbk_cli_win_amd64-1.0. Otherwise you can download https://frontend.bredbandskollen.se/download/bbk_cli_win_i386-1.0. Save the file as bbk_cli.exe in any directory. If the DLLs for Visual Studio 2015 or later are not installed, download and install “Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable” from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ (choose the x64 variant if you know you have 64-bit Windows, otherwise x86).

To measure, open the Command line tool (or some other command window), go to the directory where the file has been saved and give the command

bbk_cli.exe

Installation on other operating systems

Download the file that fits your operating system, save it as bbk_cli and make it executable (chmod +x bbk_cli).

To measure, open the command prompt, go to the directory where the file has been saved and give the command
