We ran into an issue with RPi and Banana Pi hitting multi-hundred meg and 1 - 2 gig speeds reliably, and ended up using ODROID - https://www.hardkernel.com/.
Also, Ookla (speedtest.net) have a software client that can be embedded in CPE gateway devices as does SamKnows.

The Pi has a bandwidth limit at 300mbits/sec due to a USB port being used.
I wonder if something like the RIPE Atlas probes could be flashed with suitable
code. They're smaller than a Pi, and easy to set up - connect a USB power cord
and an RJ45 on some cat-5 and away you go. Mine showed up with the two cords
needed and everything.
