I'm looking for a method to obtain my provisioned ISP bandwidth via shell script.

To be clear, I'm not looking to do a speed test. My goal is the following:

1. Get my provisioned bandwidth (up/down)
2. Run a test to obtain the percentage of that bandwidth that my network is currently able to push/pull through

What I have tried:

curl -s ipinfo.io/org <---only obtains my ISP name

Searched the net. Nothing found.

The only way to get your bandwidth is a speed test. There is no information stored on your machine or any standard method on the internet to get your provisioned bandwidth.

That's pretty much what I figured. Thanks!
