That is because speed-test is not installed. The npm command says Show me all the places agent-base is used and what version it is. If you look at the earlier post it had

```auto
npm list agent-base
node-red-project@0.0.1 /home/me/.node-red
├─┬ node-red-contrib-speed-test@0.1.2
│ └─┬ speedtest-net@1.6.2
│ ├─┬ http-proxy-agent@2.1.0
│ │ └── agent-base@4.3.0
│ └─┬ https-proxy-agent@3.0.1
│ └── agent-base@4.3.0
└─┬ node-red-contrib-tts-ultimate@2.0.5
  ├─┬ @google-cloud/text-to-speech@4.2.2
  │ └─┬ google-gax@3.6.1
  │ └─┬ google-auth-library@8.9.0
  │ └─┬ gaxios@5.1.3
  │ └─┬ https-proxy-agent@5.0.1
  │ └── agent-base@6.0.2 deduped
  └─┬ microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk@1.29.0
    ├── agent-base@6.0.2
    └─┬ https-proxy-agent@4.0.0
      └── agent-base@5.1.1

```

So you can see that agent-base 4.3.0 is used by http-proxy-agent which is used by [speedtest.net](http://speedtest.net) which is used by node-red-contrib-speed-test.

Now you no longer have speed-test installed the early version of agent base is not used.

I am sorry @Colin, but.....

This screen shot kinda says otherwise.

You still don't see the problem, even though I have pointed it out several times. There are two contrib nodes. node-red-contrib-speed-test and node-red-contrib-speedtest. The former was the one causing the problem. Now you are using the latter.

(that's why the TRYING is still in my name.)

Colin,

I am really sorry.

Back in post 3 I can see the _TWO_ lists of the node.  
(Well, not exactly. One is hidden in the `node-red`... Oh, sorry. That's another layer of confusion my end.)  
I seem fixated on that node.

Hang on, I'll try to see it again.

Ok, your post 6.....  
Yeah, with you - kind of.

So _WHO_ is the `speedtest` node shown above?  
Oh! it is `speedtest` (no hyphen).... Ok. With you now.

Wow.... I really do seem to need a new brain.
