Bug Description

$ speedtest --version
speedtest-cli 2.1.2
Python 3.8.10 (default, Jun 22 2022, 20:18:18) [GCC 9.4.0]

I am in Czech Republic but I test against servers in Poland (and I measure lower speed compared to web client):

$ speedtest --list
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...

Official client by Ookla:

$ ./speedtest -V
Speedtest by Ookla 1.2.0.84 (ea6b6773cf) Linux/x86_64-linux-musl 5.15.0-56-generic x86_64

The official command line client for testing the speed and performance

$ ./speedtest -L
Closest servers:

    ID Name Location Country

  4162 ISP Alliance a.s. Prague Czechia

Other issue is that servers ID reported by Ookla client are not accepted by client from Ubuntu:

$ speedtest --server 38673
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Testing from Vodafone Czech Republic (93.90.155.78)...
Retrieving speedtest.net server list...
ERROR: No matched servers: 38673

The source of server list is "http://www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php", it is XML file. The problem is not directly in the speedtest-cli client but at server, it delivers wrong list of test servers. There are 10 random test servers in the list and only those are known to the client, that is why I cannot use server ID reported by official Ookla client...
