Supersonic / MTN Business very poor international connectivity

I'm with Supersonic fibre, 200/200 Mbps, which apparently uses MTN Business for connectivity, including globally. And I'm really struggling with international bandwidth.

Since the cable breaks back in May, international connectivity is slow and spotty. Local is fine.

Here's proof: two Speedtests done to a random location in London. First is plain fibre connection:

The second is the same computer, same network, 30 seconds later, with with the Cloudflare Warp VPN connected:

So the VPN connection has worse ping (no surprise), but MUCH more actual bandwidth. This must be because Cloudflare's network is using different (better!) global connectivity than MTN.

Anyone else seeing this?

MTN/Supersonic, please buy better global bandwidth!!
Meanwhile I have to start the painful process of looking at alternative providers :(.
 
The problem is not their bandwidth, the problem is that Supersonic doesn't know how to be an ISP.
Had them for years (no other options) and it was ****, changed ISP to Level-7, no problems
 
Is MTN also your fibre provider?

It's more than likely packet loss related.
