About:
Breitbandmessung is the official speed test tool developed by the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). It allows users to accurately measure their internet connection's download, upload, and ping against servers approved by the regulatory authority. This tool is essential for documenting performance issues to file official complaints against internet service providers in Germany.

Key Features:

Official tool recognized by German regulatory authorities
Detailed measurement of download, upload, and latency
Generates legally valid test results for provider complaints
Automated and manual testing modes

Use Cases:

Verifying if your internet connection meets advertised speeds
Documenting connection issues for a formal complaint to your provider
Comparing performance across different times of day

Alternatives:

speedtest-cli – General-purpose tool for global servers, but lacks the official status required for German legal complaints
iperf3 – Advanced network benchmarking tool requiring a server, not suitable for measuring ISP performance to the public internet
