Sorry - I did not attempt to come off as rude or unhelpful.
My point is his comparison of 14ms against his expectation of 1ms. That is not realistic, given the use-case being a speed test to [semi-random] provider.
There is a physical limit in play in these scenarios - being the speed of light in a vacuum and light refraction index (fiber). Simply assuming that due to the fact that 4G is "becoming" 5G you should see an order of magnitude less latency (1ms vs 14ms) is in my view, from a physics perspective, silly.
Even including the RAN (Radio Access Network), the majority of said latency to and from the throughput server endpoint is most likely NOT the result of delay on the RAN, but rather the physical distance (proximity) from the mobile station (MS, smartphone/handset).
