Comment:

 Bandwidth might be the wrong term to use altogether, perhaps this is
 "throughput" or even "goodput" to be more precise, though "throughput" is
 probably more widely understood. To make it generally understood we could
 even call it "speed test".

 The patch looks good except for the descriptions, where I think we should
 talk about throughput rather than bandwidth. A poorly tuned implementation
 may have a ton of bandwidth available but never allow you to take
 advantage of it.

 I think "Speed test" might make the graph really accessible because many
 people have run a speed test at some point to check out their own Internet
 connection.
