Interesting chair. Bit pricy, but I tried it and like it!

When you want to download actual known amounts of bytes, then use the [Archive.is] XS4ALL Software download site which has plenty of files in both sizes that are powers of 1024 and powers of 1000, so you can use the units that fits you best:
I usually run commands like these:
traceroute download.xs4all.nl & wget -O /dev/null http://download.xs4all.nl/test/2GiB.bin
traceroute download.xs4all.nl & wget -O /dev/null http://download.xs4all.nl/test/10GiB.bin
The first is for speeds up to ~100 megabit/second, the latter for speeds up to ~1 gigabits/second; wget examples based on [WayBack] linux – How do I request a file but not save it with Wget? – Stack Overflow.
From the xs4all shell servers, you have about 1 gigabit speed. At home it is about 80 gigabit.
Since the download is over a longer period of time, you get a better estimate of average speeds than regular speedtest varieties do.

The [WayBack] Periodic table – Wikipedia contains many symbols.
Combing them allows you to spell word. Not all words, but many of them can be spelled.
So I was glad finding the below article that started with the same fascination I had in chemistry class.
It has a great explanation of the algorithm, references to computer science literature and a nice Python implementation.
