Get https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli , run it on a cron job, out put can be json or csv . What I like on this is i can set different servers. - Jay
Setup seemed easy enough, but the speed results just don't seem accurate. I can saturate my full pipe using the official Ookla CLI tool but the speedtest-cli python package only sees about 250mbps of the 1Gbps I'm getting.
Some of the Speedtest package are buggy. Ubuntu one was for a while. Got much higher score when I pulled the GitHub version
For a similar project run by RIPE check out https://atlas.ripe.net . Atlas is a terrible name because everything seems to be named Atlas nowadays, but it's a fitting name for a cool project.

I don't my ISP would care if I show them a graph that my service is bad.

Usually I'm adding linuxserver/smokeping docker container to boxes I want to check internet speed history.
Here's mine: https://github.com/zaphar/durnitisp No readme sorry. It uses UDP packets to various different stun servers to export network statistics to prometheus. Then I just use grafana to review the results.

My ISP in Germany was lending cables from another ISP. They failed to fulfill the "up to 100 MBit/s" claim all the time.
So I set up a Raspberry Pi (which is a bit flawed, as the network interface on the older models was too slow, to begin with) and let it run speedtests every 5 minutes for four weeks.
The graph looked terribly enough that I was allowed to change ISPs without any cancellation period or something else.
Sometimes they care, probably because I blogged and tweeted about it, too.
