Meanwhile in a major city in Australia:

44 Mbps down 30ms latency 12.5 ms jitter

What’s it like having internet that actually goes?

Luxury! 33.4 Mbps down 22.5 ms latency 8.5 ms jitter in a medium city in Tennessee, USA. Paying for up to 100 Mbps, but ~35 is consistent across times and sites.

Follow-up: 33.4 was because I'm an idiot. I have a surge suppressor with coax in/out between the wall and my modem (lost a cable modem, router and networked laser printer to lightning a few years ago). Removing it puts me at 103/23.0/4.53. I'm sure I checked after adding the surge suppressor, but not, apparently, in quite a long time.

Meanwhile in a minor town in Australia:

26.9 Mbps down 11.4ms latency 1.96ms jitter

(my synch speed is only 24.73 Mbps, so those numbers dont seem right...)

Come on guys, 25mbps is enough for like 4 SD Foxtel streams. That's enough for anyone.

Metropolitan Sydney (upload is temporarily disabled)

Paying A$89 for TPG 100Mbps plan

Server location: Sydney Down 93.6Mbps Latency: 14.9ms Jitter: 4.97ms

Before students went back to school, upload bandwidth was throttled at 4~8Mbps (due to the congestion caused by nation wide WFH), now speedtest / fast.com reports 30~40Mbps...

Surprisingly, download bandwidth has not been affected like Optus Cable before (experienced 10Mbps or less for 100Mbps/2Mbps plan), facepalm.
