Hi I’m Daily user of OSMC and I really like it it’s amazing and thanks making it very easy to use. But I like if you guys add connectivity Indicator or download/upload real-time icon on home screen so it will be so easy to monitor the network connection…
This is already planned, however a speed test isn’t always indicative of how you’ll get on with streaming, as that can vary based on the file locker.
As you can imagine, providing a speedtest service will take a lot of bandwidth, so we need to work on the best approach

For a console option:
sudo apt-get install wavemon Then execute with wavemon and F10 to exit. You get some stats…not the actual speed…but what was downloaded/uploaded, signal strength etc
but for a much more detailed / browser interface : ntopng – ntop
which i tried, and it rocks!
I wrote a guide on how to install it but it was delete due to a misunderstanding.
You’ll have to read through their guide to install it.

@sam_nazarko I suspect that could be made into a simple add-on.
