Would a raspberry pi work for this?

Could 3D print a nice case with your logo for it.

Last time I setup Iperf3 it was semi difficult, and would be impossible trying to coach a soccer mom on how to setup 
over the phone.

I am leaning towards a CPE that has speed test built in, or a low cost, sub $100 device we could ship to the customer 
to install. Anyone know of something like that?

As an internet service provider with many small business and residential customers, our most common tech support calls 
are speed related. Customers complaining on slow speeds, slowdowns, etc.

We have a SNMP and ping monitoring platform today, but that mainly tells us up-time and if data is flowing across the 
interface. We can of course see the link speed, but customer call in saying the are not getting that speed.

We are looking for a way to remotely test customers internet connections besides telling the customer to go to 
speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net>, or worse sending a tech out with a laptop to do the same thing.

What opensource and commercial options are out there?
