anyone know where or how I could test the speed of a server's connection using command line?

Obviously the linux server do not have gui nor browser. So, how do I test the speed of the internet connection??

wget, axel -- both are command line file downloaders (axel having the capability to use a few threads).. use it to test the bandwidth
