Smokeping used to be one of my favourity tools when I was working as a SysAdmin long time ago. It's offers such a clever way of presenting the data, that it is super easy to identify any issues.
I still wonder why modern tools haven't adopted this ingenious technique.

I previously made a post asking for some ping results for various people in the area. Thank you to everyone who replied. Some of the comments encouraged me to set up a more proper monitoring system for keeping track of latencies to various servers, and to consider more than just ICMP ping as said packets are likely deprioritized.

Criteria: at least a 30" deep desk, and a comfortable adjustable height office chair. - Which AirBNB rental units actually have fast internet. Ideal in a perfect world: Let me ping their router, or somehow get the airbnb host to visit https://speedof.me or a similar site, then upload the... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Both real world (I was trying to use steam to update things) and on the 19th when I think this glitch first started I was downloading a ubuntu image from their official download link (so I assume it should be able to stream a pretty solid bitrate. Basically steam (which should be able to cap my connection no problem), random website traffic, speedof.me and the waveform buffer bloat tests all showed me hard pegged... Source: 11 months ago
