Yes, the ping and speed calculations are accurate.

I attempted multiple paid VPN services with servers in my region, but they consistently offered only about 1mbps connectivity. During gaming sessions, I experienced ping spikes up to 100k ms, especially when many users were online. Once the crowd settled, the latency returned to normal around 260ms. This suggests that high internet speeds can cause noticeable ping fluctuations of over 2k ms before a game fully loads.
This happens due to buffer limitations and limited bandwidth. When data transfer is slow—like 1mbps—and you need a large file, it can take a long time (e.g., 10 seconds) to complete. Sudden spikes in ping or traffic often mean the request is being held in line, which adds delay. These issues are connected but not directly causing your specific problem.
