100 mbps.  Could have higher if I paid $10 more per month!

110 mb/s but used to have 600 mb/s. If my current speed is too slow I could go up to 1 GB/s.

Regional NSW and as good as can be expected without connecting to the NBN. NBN FTTC connection should be available before MSFS releases (if that's going to help at all because so far they don't have a good reputation).

Performing a generic speed test (from the likes of speedtest.net) and clicking on a local test server is almost meaningless. it just gives you the "width" of your pipe, not how much can realistically flow down it.

It gives you a one time speed (which will likely be pretty stable) to a relatively local server which is quite likely on or very near your ISPs own network. You want to pick SEVERAL test servers from major places around the world to which much of your internet traffic is likely to come from. I would suggest (not a complete list by any means):

1.) A US east coast city
2.) A US west coast city
3.) Chicago
4.) London
5.) Frankfurt
6.) Singapore
7.) Sydney
8.) Hong Kong

If you are ONLY interested in certain types of traffic, bias your tests to the geographic locations where those servers reside. This becomes a little difficult (but in an advantageous way) with content delivery networks and the likes of Cloudflare as they will automatically select a suitable (and probably local) server for you.

For example, a "generic" speed test of my internet connection gives me:

329,6 mbps download
102.9 mbps upload
with a latency of <4ms (latency is more a factor of distance than actual ISP quality, unless your ISP has the worst routes in the world)

I don't get anything like this to anywhere meaningful on the internet. For example my results to a server in London are:

176.78 mbps download
2.98 mbps upload (this is the real horror story of my ISP, upload is useless to most places in Europe)

and Los Angeles is:

293.16 mbps
44.88 mbps

These figures also fluctuate MASSIVELY depending on time of day. At the moment they are at their higher levels. I have no caps on my contract, which is part of the reason for fluctuations, but mostly its just down to the quality of my ISPs routes (and my ISP is the best available here).

If you just want to do a single test, pick a server half way around the world but in a major, "modern" area.

Latency: 10 ms
Server: Seattle, WA (50 miles as the crow flies from here).

Notice how a small town ISP, like the one I'm on, will cheat the upload speed to give you a high download speed in the marketing.
