Is it possible to extend the speed test duration? Thanks.

I don’t believe either speedtest has an option for time/lenght/size.

No options from command line.

Speedtest by Ookla is the official command line client for testing the speed and performance of your internet connection.

Version: speedtest 1.2.0.84

Usage: speedtest [<options>]
-h, --help Print usage information
-V, --version Print version number
-L, --servers List nearest servers
-s, --server-id=# Specify a server from the server list using its id
-I, --interface=ARG Attempt to bind to the specified interface when connecting to servers
-i, --ip=ARG Attempt to bind to the specified IP address when connecting to servers
-o, --host=ARG Specify a server, from the server list, using its host's fully qualified domain name
-p, --progress=yes|no Enable or disable progress bar (Note: only available for 'human-readable'
or 'json' and defaults to yes when interactive)
-P, --precision=# Number of decimals to use (0-8, default=2)
-f, --format=ARG Output format (see below for valid formats)
--progress-update-interval=# Progress update interval (100-1000 milliseconds)
-u, --unit[=ARG] Output unit for displaying speeds (Note: this is only applicable
for ΓÇÿhuman-readableΓÇÖ output format and the default unit is Mbps)
-a Shortcut for [-u auto-decimal-bits]
-A Shortcut for [-u auto-decimal-bytes]
-b Shortcut for [-u auto-binary-bits]
-B Shortcut for [-u auto-binary-bytes]
--selection-details Show server selection details
-v Logging verbosity. Specify multiple times for higher verbosity
--output-header Show output header for CSV and TSV formats

Valid output formats: human-readable (default), csv, tsv, json, jsonl, json-pretty

Machine readable formats (csv, tsv, json, jsonl, json-pretty) use bytes as the unit of measure with max precision

Valid units for [-u] flag:
Decimal prefix, bits per second: bps, kbps, Mbps, Gbps
Decimal prefix, bytes per second: B/s, kB/s, MB/s, GB/s
Binary prefix, bits per second: kibps, Mibps, Gibps
Binary prefix, bytes per second: kiB/s, MiB/s, GiB/s
Auto-scaled prefix: auto-binary-bits, auto-binary-bytes, auto-decimal-bits, auto-decimal-bytes

From my many years experience with Speedtest by Ookla, using it with very slow, slow, and low broadband internet speeds; it almost always gets the accurate speed measurement for your connection.
So, from a Software Engineer perspective, their algorithms are optimal indeed, and always use the best time period and test load to make the measurement each time.
