Measures download speeds on a local internet connection and sends an email (or SMS) alert when speeds are below a predefined threshold.

Sometimes routers or modems have bad days and need to be reboot, and sometimes ISPs have outages/service degredation and don't communicate with their customers or provide credits unless their customers contact them regarding the issue. This repository exists to provide people with a convenient way to stay informed about their internet speeds so that issues can be quickly mitigated.

• Clone this repository: "git clone https://github.com/pauldevnull/speedtest-alert.git"
• Navigate to the cloned repository: "cd speedtest-alert"
• Install dependencies: "npm install"
• Fill out the settings.json file:

	{
	// This is the threshold (in MBPS) that will trigger the alert if download speeds are less than the provided value
	"threshold": 800,
	// The service used to send the email or sms alert
	"service": "gmail",
	// The email address used to send the email or sms alert
	"email": "[email protected]",

}
