Went from 500 down to 1000 down for the same price with a promo so why not I guess?

what does all these extra numbers mean?
i assume that the yellow icon means ping at 2ms, but then there are two more, teal 86 and purple 11.
 
what does all these extra numbers mean?
Among those:

Jitter: Also called Packet Delay Variation (PDV), jitter frequency is a measure of the variability in ping over time. Jitter is not usually noticeable when reading text, but when streaming and gaming a high jitter can result in buffering and other interruptions.
 
Upgraded to Unifi Vip 5 (5Mbps) fiber plan, leaving behind my ADSL 8Mbps package. Despite sacrificing 3Mbps+, the switch promises superior ping and upload speeds. The cost is MYR 149 (MYR 157.95 after tax), roughly 33.48 USD/month, with a 2-year contract.

Weird if you got fiber, mostly with fiber the down/up are symmetric..

I don't think that's 2100mbps coax/cable...
It's cable with a high or mid split.
 
found this site: https://speed.cloudflare.com and it's more accurate than speedtest.net cuz isps whitelist speedtest.net to make themselves look better and shift blame
And since speed.cloudflare.com is ran by one of the biggest CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) This is essentially how fast you actually do connect to the majority of sites out there since a lot of them are utilizing CDNs for better performance due to more local caching.

What do you mean by more accurate? The whole point of a speed test is to show network speed between point A and point B.

To add to this.

I don't believe they are whitelisting anything. Most ISP will have a speedtest.net server on the local network so when you run the test you are not leaving your ISP's network.

Because isps wanna make themselves look better...

And using thier own speedtest servers ofc you're going to get a higher number than you would somewhere else.. this is so the isp tech can say "see no problem with our speed here" and blame you for your problems...


If you test using another app they have no control over you get the truth.


Cloudflare is a normal site w no bias or anything. They aren't an isp...

There is no "truth" as you picture it. Of course you'll get the best speeds from your own ISP network. What you get out of it depends on ISP peering agreements. Cloudflare is absolutely not a normal site with no bias. It is caching and serving an insane amount of the global web requests and becoming an increasingly bigger internet backbone.

Which is why testing w them makes more sense than speedtest bc speedtest is gonna make any connection look better than it allready is...


Since cloudfare serves traffic but doesn't own the networks we all connect to its a better metric
 
If you're wanting a true test of your upload/download speed then don't use a local (to your country server) use one from another country like the U.S
if your ISP is doing a good job they'll have good routing outside of your country and you'll see better perf if not then they're just doing as much as they legally need to to say hey it works doesn't it
