I'm sure there's a better way, but I usually use "youtube-dl" to
download a video from YouTube in one shell, while using "iftop" to
watch the network I/O usage.  As long as all the other devices on my
network are quiet and not hogging bandwidth, I've found it to be a
pretty accurate measure of my network speed.
