Speed test results from speed chess players

I'm interested in comparing internet speed test results from ultrabullet, bullet, blitz, and rapid chess players.
I typed Internet+Speed+Test on google search, then I pressed the button displayed.

My internet results:

123.7 Mbps download
10.4 Mbps upload
Latency: 8 ms
Server: Montreal (Optional)

I mostly play Bullet, Blitz, and Rapid and my network is very fast for that.

So can we see a few more results ideally from different locations?

I will use lichess.org/lag
Lichess server latency: 1 ms
Network between lichess and me: 55
I rarely play anymore, if I do, blitz or rapid.
Anonymous I play bullet.
Hope this helps - I don't know if this information is of any use though (or if I missed a thing).

speedtest to m-lab servers is a pretty meaningless benchmark if your talking specifically about lichess chess games. just click your name top right, theres your ping with lichess.

i play everything except hyper and my ping is 80-140ms right now (shouldnt be higher than 20-30 to france, guess its my ISP on this friday evening, lots of streaming happening.

edit:

needless to say that higher upload rates will decrease lag spikes on shared connections. i got 100/10 too and its also slightly overperforming on the volume, especially upload (currently 19+), but download is blocked by something at 14 MBps (i think my TV pulls like 9mbps max, so the other household on the line streams with a larger codec or more devices or does a download).

Both low bandwidth and high latency cause delays that affect Ultrabullet. So the Lichess link is only half the solution.
The Ultrabullet players need to know the minimum numbers required to minimize lag compensation.
As we have more time to spare, the low bandwidth and high latency is less of a concern.
