[c-nsp] Internet speed

[Rasto Rickardt]

Ton,

host your speedtest.net testserver, so customers can use the one on your
network.

https://support.speedtest.net/hc/en-us/articles/203845650-How-can-I-host-a-server-on-Speedtest-net-

Then customers have the ability to compare measurements to your on-net
server and some offnet ones, and you can move to troubleshoot further :).
