Hi Dave, I made some time to test "cloudflare's christmas present" yesterday.



I'm on DOCSIS 3.1 service with 1Gbps Down. The Upstream has a "turbo" mode with 40-50Mbps for the first ~3 sec, then steady-state about 23Mbps.



When I saw the ~620Mbps Downstream measurement, I was ready to complain that even the IP-Layer Capacity was grossly underestimated.  In addition, the Latency measurements seem very low (as you asserted), although the cloud server was “nearby”.



However, I found that Ookla and the ISP-provided measurement were also reporting ~600Mbps! So the cloudflare Downstream capacity (or throughput?) measurement was consistent with others. Our UDPST server was unreachable, otherwise I would have added that measurement, too.



The Upstream measurement graph seems to illustrate the “turbo” mode, with the dip after attaining 44.5Mbps.



UDPST saturates the uplink and we measure the full 250ms of the Upstream buffer. Cloudflare’s latency measurements don’t even come close.
