Speed lower than 10%

[nicolastarzia]

Sometimes my speed is lower than 10% that I contract.

It will be nice if the speed lower than 10% that user contract, send an twitter to @anatel.

It will be nice, but including ANATEL in the logic of the program is something I strongly disagree. As I've just said in #8:

1. I think the main reason I kept the tweet message as a configuration, not as part of the program itself – a strict separation of config from code – is so users decide what they are tweeting and whom they are tagging; and I wouldn't like to step out of this path.
2. Adding explicitly ANATEL is a Brazilian thing and won't make sense elsewhere.
3. AFAIK (and as far as it is documented) 10% is a rather arbitrary value (personally I like the idea of tagging ANATEL, but I would do it every time the ISP disrespects ANATEL's regulation (that is why it needs a variable MINIMUM_SPEED) and not only when it disrespects too much (because too much is too subjective indeed).

As I also said there, using general concepts such asMINIMUM_SPEED make the project independent of ANATEL or any country-specific regulations, making it reasonable for most countries of the world I guess. I think if anyone likes this feature we could differ between just below the minimum speed and critical speed, keeping configuration out of code:

1. We add a CRITICAL_SPEED envvar that defaults to MINIMUM_SPEED
2. We add a CRITICAL_TWEET envvar that defaults to TWEET
3. In the tweet method we decide if we use minimum or critical ifs and tweet messages.

I discuss it further (and some better concepts for implementation) in #7 though.

Perfect, and I agree with you, it's wrong if include ANATEL in the logic.

To solve this "problem" what do you think if we change the MINIMUM_SPEED and TWEET to a list of key/value (I think in python it's tuples)? So we can configure N messages according the speed, turning this robot a little bit more dynamic.

Test case

Config Scenario:

Config minimum speed (thresold)	Message
10	My internet is terrible, only {real_speed}. I contract {contract_speed}, what do you think @MyISP?
40	Hey @MyISP, I think that something wrong with my internet, I'm working with {real_speed}, but pay for {contract_speed}, merely {percentage}

Test: Contract_speed = 100

Real Speed	Twitter Message
50	No message
35	Hey @MyISP, I think that something wrong with my internet, I'm working with 35Mbps, but pay for 100Mbps, merely 35%
20	Hey @MyISP, I think that something wrong with my internet, I'm working with 20Mbps, but pay for 100Mbps, merely 20%
5	My internet is terrible, only 5Mbps. I contract 120Mbps, what do you think @MyISP?

Python can handle key/value pairs, but most of the simple and friendly data structures of config files and envvars handlers (shell envvars and .env, for examle) cannot.

So I think either we:

• keep this configurations simpler by now to avoid making a setup that is aleady complex (due to theamount of envvars needed)
• or a possible PR would replace the simple .env file for something more powerful such as .yml or .json (what would make us move from python-decouple to something different in order to load configuration)

But personally I would avoid this level of complexity to handle settings.
