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 see. Much more complicated algorithms involved. Now I actually stop & disabled reflector and manually picked some local servers. Now I’m seeing 50mb/s and I feel totally dumb lol

You can also tell reflector to ignore certain mirrors in the configuration.
