Speedtest to international servers

[MNM7]

Hi Folks

I just want to know if doing a speedtest to an international server is valid to take to an ISP? I'm asking cause I have a 50 Mbps fibre line and although i don't expect 50mbps internationally, I seem to be experiencing a major drop in download bandwidth during peak hours. My local speedtest sticks to 50 mbps, but when i do an international speedtest to say london, My down speed is below 2mbps whereas my upload is around 20 mbps. I can't think it to be a Fibre Network provider problem as I know people who are on a different ISP, but same Fibre network provider and they don't have the same issue.

You should move ISPs.. your current ISP is oversubscribed for their international bandwidth, in an effort to save money because it's expensive..

You more than likely have packet loss, easy way to tell if it's ISP or FNO is to do a local iperf test.

International bandwidth is technically cheap these days.
