Each network source is a linked same-VM supplement when available, otherwise a later test on a separate VM matching provider, plan, recorded region and resources. Frankfurt and New York are separate paths, with one trial per direction. HTTP latency and jitter are recorded; packet loss is not measured. Routes and times affect results; these trials do not establish maximum link capacity or long-term consistency.
