​Have you checked where the bufferbloat is?  While it is most commonly in
the "last mile" or wifi hops, on some ISP's you'll find bloat inside their
network, and/or peering points between your ISP and where the test server
is.

Sometimes it's like a willow the wisp, and moving from minute to
minute..... (or second to second, between an ISP and your WiFi hop, when
the two hops have similar goodput).  Whenever you detect bloat, your next
(ideally simultaneous) action is to diagnose which hop(s) are problematic.
