speedtest-plotter Ping always 0ms

Hello. Thanks for your wonderful container! For some reason ping not measured and always 0ms everywhere regardless of the speedtest server

I'm not really sure where to start on this issue but your up/down seems absurdly high as well. I mean, if it's such a performant optic fiber (I assume), is it possible that your ping to this particular server is actually less than a millisecond?

It is fast machine with 10gbps. I rent other dedicated machines that have 1gbit in different countries and all shows 0ms. Expected 20-80ms

I see! Can you try compiling SpeedTest++ yourself and test it directly?

SpeedTest --output json --test-server librarian.comstar.ru:8080

well yes, it also shows 0ms so problem not with plotter

root@le1mp3-1-10:~/SpeedTest# SpeedTest --output json --test-server librarian.comstar.ru:8080
{"client":{"ip":"xxx","lat":"60.1695","lon":"24.9354","isp":"magnacapax"},"server":{"host":"librarian.comstar.ru:8080"},"ping":"0","jitter":"0","download":"796981719.812223","upload":"694566804.911060","_":"all ok"}

Same server with official speedtest

root@le1mp3-1-10:~# speedtest -s 10987

Huh, weird. At first I though that it might be those specific test servers because I also get 0 ms when I use that --test-server librarian.comstar.ru:8080. But it also happens when I use any other specific server like sp1.netkom-line.de:8080. Only when I omit the --test-server flag entirely and let SpeedTest choose its server automatically do I get a proper latency measurement.

But yeah, it seems that's a taganaka/SpeedTest issue and not with speedtest-plotter :/
