I'm familiar with manual internet speed testing using sites like speedtest.net. I'd like to set something up to automatically run a speed test once per hour 24x7 (for example) on a Windows machine.

Any advice on a tool/approach to do this?

EDIT: Specifically, I'm looking to obtain the same measurements provided with speedtest.net (ping test and bandwidth test) but in an automated fashion I can run in the background.
