I've taken the UI element from netspeed-widget and the dbus workings from system-monitor, glued them together and added a few additional UI nice to haves. This widget doesn't need ksysguard to function. This is extremely BETA software and the first plasma widget I've done. If you find something or many things that aren't working, let me know and I'll take a look when I can.
v0.3.3: Update to the translations. Fixed issue with UI text and icon alignment in Horizontal layout. Added code to disable padding selection in Horizontal mode. Doubled padding option from 10 to 20.
v0.4 Cleaned up lots of code in settings section, 343 lines of code removed and reworked. Added 'Custom Icon Style' option. Added 'Speed icon size' option. Added 'Prefix/Suffix size' option. reworked 'Number font size' option. Added Sliders for font resizing. Added 'Decimal Place Filter' to manage how the decimal place in the bandwidth data is presented. Added 'Rounded Whole number' to manage how the rounding in the bandwidth data is presented. Changes made to the Settings page, info button reworked, text amendments and setting section line breaks added.
Available Options: - Layout - Display Order - Show speeds separately - Update interval - Interval data relay - Layout Padding - Hide when inactive - Number font size - NEW - Icon Font size - NEW - Prefix/Suffix font size - NEW - Show speed units - Speed units - Shorten speed units - Show speed icons - Show 'per seconds' suffix - 'Per seconds' prefix - Icon style - Custom icon style - NEW - Icon position - Numbers [binary, metric] - Decimal place - Decimal place filter - NEW - Rounded whole number - NEW - Monitor individual or multiple interfaces

Or not. Worked fine yesterday, but today while WFH, and connecting over my work-vpn, I don't get any readings.
There is no way to choose a network interface either, I only see a checkbox and nothing else.
Thanks for the feedback Adrianvg. Yes, there's a bug with changing networks i'm trying to resolve at the moment. Hope to have a new release out soon with a fix for this. Ta.
Oh, I missed that entry in your todo-list - sorry about that!
I'll wait for the fix. :-)
Also, could you have a look on why the widget settings aren't saved when logging off?
Unless this is related to the other todo-stuffs?
FWIW, my desktop session settings are set to be saved/restored on the next login. I kinda' expected the widget's settings to be saved as well.
If there is anything I can do to trouble-shoot this, please let me know!
I'll help out any way I can.
Hello adrianvg
v0.3 should fix the issues you've been facing with the network setting changes not being read at boot or login. I've not tested it with a VPN so please let me know how you get on.

Removing the widget and readding it, activates the speeds. It's still there with VPN connected. Weird.
