It only shows the link speed. Not the actual bandwidth or responsiveness in the network.

You are missing ~70% of the tools functionality.

That is neat. But an undocumented tool is hardly a secret... [1]

How is showing your link speed more useful than showing your actual speed? The link speed does not show anything useful, besides that you might be connected to a router from the 90s.
