Running skill gave a wrong speed test compared to the web page. I have a 500/500 internet connection. Skill always returns below that. If I do the test on the web interface I get these results

while doing the test through the skill the results are quite lower

My bet is speedtest isn't grabbing the proper server to do the tests. On the command line utility I could see when I run speedtest without selecting the server, it grabs one based on "ping" (my bet it is grabbing one of the nearer servers, and then making a ping to see the timeout, and not doing a ping to all the servers).
On the following capture I'm showing two random tests using cli

while if I select my server (I choosed my own's ISP server located on my city)

I know this is a limitation of the speedtest tool, but perhaps would be great to let specify the server to get the most accurate speed test, wouldn't it?

Missed this notification... I think this is a good addition though; maybe just a skill setting that accepts a server and adds that arg. As you note, it would help a user get consistent results
