5G results below. Not ultraComFast but more than serviceable for my house. The upload speed is actually more than twice what cable was, download is a little slower. I was testing using a server in our hosting location 60 miles away.

Interesting screenshot because it shows something that may not be obvious.
The data speeds are fast, but the ping times are fairly slow. I'm uncertain of the precise meanings of the values as the times have icons that are ambiguous, but even the lowest time shown of 27ms will be quite noticeable.
One issue is that high throughputs are often partly achieved by compression, which costs time when the data is compressed before sending and decompressed upon receipt.

To add to this using a VPN can slow down your speeds. A couple of times a change in my VPN locations eliminated a slow speed.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

What's interesting to me is what you found interesting. I remoted into my work computer (physically 20 miles closer) and pinged a server in the same data center, and the ping times were comparable (that was using a host name). I tried the same thing using an IP on the same server instead and it improved by about 9 mS For my area and the data center I was testing against, it doesn't seem abnormal to me. I wasn't pinging Cloudflare, just one of our servers in a colocation data center a ways away.
What *I* found interesting was that my upload speed appears to be 3X faster than my previous cable connection.
That used to be around the 11-13 range that was common with various other connections I have checked in the past, now it is around 35-36 ...
So I tried the same test on a Canadian server (I am in the US by the border) and ping slowed down but download speed went up significantly (from 106 to 150+). I think the ping may not be the best ruler to measure by for this particular test. I used Ookla FWIW (below image) I also tried another server in Detroit and got 50 for Ping, and 124 download and 39+ upload, so .. I dunno, seems ping isn't the best scale to measure against for Ookla tests The upload increase is what caught my eye Anyway, just trying to say, 5G is an option for those trying to 'cut the cable' in my experience, looks like it will save me a bunch of $$ so far, and maybe improve things for those with limited options. Worth checking out

5G at my house STINKS. As soon as I get in the car and start driving the speed goes up considerably. I have seen those 150mpbs speeds but only when I was right under a tower. Typically I see 55-75 while driving around with a TV show playing in the background. (NOT watching!)
I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."
What's interesting to me is what you found interesting.
For playing music what you need is the low latency that Farplay suggests it offers. The ping times are an approximate measure of the latency across the link between the two machines. Upload and download speeds are for data throughput, but for music the amount of data one's transferring is modest.
Edit: FWIW, your speeds are also 3-5 times faster than my cable (FTTC), my ping times are similar at 19ms.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
