My file transfer rate matched the upload rate perfectly, but it’s no longer that way.

you're asking about what "down the line" means in the context of network issues. It refers to problems that might happen later, like packet loss during certain hops—specifically between the ocean cable and the mainland distribution center. You're coming from an island, so those connections are critical for your setup.
particularly for China. you mentioned living on an island, so your internet will initially route through the mainland hub, then regional hub, followed by an international hub, then an intermediary hub, and finally to China. each transition raises latency and reduces speed. your gigabit connection works best for connecting you directly with your ISP.
But as we observe, the download speed bandwidth remains consistent, whereas the upload isn’t as strong as it was at the regional server. I’m curious about what’s causing the slowdown—could there be some traffic involved, or is someone deliberately interfering with my connection? It used to work smoothly, but now I’m experiencing issues. Is this related to one another?
router is provided by isp anyway, this is what i really wish to fix and maybe has something to do with it
I see a difference. On Windows they push you to use the app, the site shows accurate speeds, but the app runs slowly.
