speedtest: Run a speed test to a specific `speedtest.net` server.
$ speedtest --server-id=${server_id}
try on your machine

This command is likely a command-line interface for running a network speed test using the Speedtest.net service.

The --server-id=${server_id} part is a flag used to specify a particular server for testing the network speed. The ${server_id} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual ID of the server you want to use.

By providing the server ID, the speed test command will connect to the specified server and measure the upload and download speed of your network connection to that server. The results will be displayed in the command-line interface, typically showing the ping time, download speed, and upload speed.
