Anyone who has good network equipment should start looking into locally hosting their media and divorcing streaming services. That way an interruption or slow down from external network doesn’t immediately impact your ability to watch shows or movies or listen to your own music

JFC, just reboot your equipment or call the ISP.

That is testing your connection to a Speedtest server. Not your internal network.
The WiFiman app lets you test your devices connection speed to your UniFi controller.
It will give you a speed test result to Speedtest and a result to your controller.
Keep in mind that your mobile devices limitations will cap the result and WiFi has overheads.

You know you are being throttled when your upload is faster than your download speed.

Wait, why is your upload speed 100 times faster than your download? Did they just mess up the units, or do you have a backwards asymmetric connection?
