speed-test: Output the results in megabytes per second (MBps).

The command "speed-test --bytes" initiates a speed test on a computer network connection and displays the results in bytes.
A speed test measures the current download and upload speeds of an internet connection. It can provide information about the network's performance and help diagnose any potential issues.
The "--bytes" parameter specifically instructs the speed test command to display the results in bytes instead of the default unit, which is usually bits per second. Bytes are a unit of digital information that represent a sequence of 8 bits. Some users may prefer to view the results in bytes for easier comparison with data usage or file sizes.
