When I pacman-Syu, it fluctuates between 200kb to 500kb

I checked my internet speed at fast.com and it says 490Mbps

Something isn’t right.

Reflector is doing its job. I checked /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and saw the last updated time is very recent (today).

I don't use reflector, I just pick a couple of local .edu mirrors that proved themselves fast in past and that's all I use. I only change if the mirror is performing poorly.

I see. I will try. Maybe the ones reflector chose was fast atm but not now. Thanks

Reflector isn't that smart of a tool. That's exactly what happened and why I stopped using it.

I just did and manually picked some near ones. It’s at 50mb/s and I really feel stupid now.

Thanks. really.
