## A Command-line Bandwidth Calculator
With fast.sh, you can issue a Unix command from the terminal to calculate
download bandwidth from fast.com. For example:
$ fast.sh
# Bytes Cur. rate Avg. Rate
------- ----------- -----------
1.22GiB [31.1MiB/s] [31.1MiB/s]
## Credit
The original implementation comes from Tiksi's
[one-liner at Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12259331). I just
added some whitespace and made some adjustments that made it more flexible and
easier for me to read and maintain.
## Requirements
The script requires these two handy modules:
1. **[jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)**: A JSON parser.
2. **[pv](http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml)**: ([mirror](https://github.com/icetee/pv)) A pipe viewer.
## Is it any good?
[Yes](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3067434).
