A python app that will test your internet connection and then complain to your service provider (and log to a data store if you'd like)
Configuration is handled by a basic JSON file. Things that can be configured are:
- twitterToken: This is your app access token
- twitterConsumerKey: This is your Consumer Key (API Key)
- twitterTokenSecret: This is your Access Token Secret
- TwitterConsumerSecret: This is your Consumer Secret (API Secret)
- tweetTo: This is a account (or list of accounts) that will be @ mentioned (include the @!)
- internetSpeed: This is the speed (in MB/sec) you're paying for (and presumably not getting).
- tweetThresholds: This is a list of messages that will be tweeted when you hit a threshold of crappiness. Placeholders are:
- {tweetTo} - The above tweetTo configuration.
- {internetSpeed} - The above internetSpeed configuration.
- {downloadResult} - The poor download speed you're getting
Threshold Example (remember to limit your messages to 140 characters or less!):
"tweetThresholds": {
"5": [
"Hey {tweetTo} I'm paying for {internetSpeed}Mb/s but getting only {downloadResult} Mb/s?!? Shame.",
"Oi! {tweetTo} $100+/month for {internetSpeed}Mbit/s and I only get {downloadResult} Mbit/s? How does that seem fair?"
],
"12.5": [
"Uhh {tweetTo} for $100+/month I expect better than {downloadResult}Mbit/s when I'm paying for {internetSpeed}Mbit/s. Fix your network!",
"Hey {tweetTo} why am I only getting {downloadResult}Mb/s when I pay for {internetSpeed}Mb/s? $100+/month for this??"
],
"25": [
"Well {tweetTo} I guess {downloadResult}Mb/s is better than nothing, still not worth $100/mnth when I expect {internetSpeed}Mb/s"
]
}
