EE high ping and jitter on Cloudflare?

[ILikeCoffee]

Hi all, I just wanted to check if this is normal.

So my set up is EE FTTP 900Mbs > ONT > Cat6 > EE Smart Hub Pro > Cat6 > PC

Sites like speedtest.net constantly shows 3-4ms to London servers and my full speed but Cloudflare speed test shows quite high latency and jitter, is this the same for anyone else, just wondering if this is related to EE network or the hub I'm using. Are there anymore tests I can do to find out?

@ILikeCoffee Not really, do you not trust the speedtest.net server's then, although there are many different speed test's out there EE only go with the app which is based on fast.com!

Yes, I am not impressed by Cloudflare:CloudFlare Speed Test

 compared with ThinkBroadBand:ThinkBroadBand Speed Test

& Speedtext.net:Speedtest.Net Speed Test

& to get back to basics, ping bbc.co.uk :

Hm bit surpised Cloudflare is under performing, people are normally saying how good they are for stuff like DNS (1.1.1.1)

ThinkBroadband, Speedtest.net and CMD BBC ping results:

Cloudflare may very well be a well thought of DNS provider but their speedtest, while complicated, seems to be lacking.

@ILikeCoffee Nothing wrong with the Fibrenest server anyway.

Cloudflare is reasonable just now.

Cloudflare just before 5pm

Think linked.
