Many, myself included, have found that the official HA speedtest integration is not accurate.
Instead, users use the official Speedtest binary (platform dependent) and integrate it in with HA.
Here are a couple of threads you may find useful:
I think my issue is related to running Hassio in docker - think it’s an access issue outside of docker that stops the command from running properly. Even using your code I still get nothing back.
I tried running the command as a shell command so that I could pipe the speedtest command and accept the terms and conditions but that didn’t work either.
Shame that the current sensor gives me a result about 50% lower than the CLI command gives.
Glad you got it sorted.
I think it’s Speedtest as even before it broke recently it would stop for no reason. Manually running the service would kick it again but I was finding it failed every few days. When it broke, I switched to using the cli from ookla and it’s solid.
