When I run a network test through gfn it says I get 8 ms ping when connected to eu central. When I load into a game, it says I have 26 ms. WHY

The network test, usually, doesn't use always the same NP (rig) that you're going to connect to.
Our ISPs may use different routes to NPs and servers, causing a bit higher latency than it's shown there.

If I pay for ultimate am I gonna get 8 ms consistently? Bcs sometimes I do get a server with low ping but rarely

It depends on when you get this rig with low ping.

You mean like when in the day? if so, i get low ping everytime I load in at like 8 am

Like, Ultimate will use its dedicated NPs. But won't grant lower latency in general.
Due to its technology, you might feel less latency. But not in numbers.

okay, so would u say if I wanna play competetive I should get ultimate?

I believe it will remain the same. If you're getting less latency during that time, it means that your ISP is taking different routes.
Yes, ISPs are always controlling that. And users cannot do as much to get this better.

For NVIDIA Reflex and other technologies, yes. But it's up to you.
Check some YouTube videos, and make up your own mind.
With my 18ms, I play Marvel Rivals, Overwatch and Fragpunk. It's good, but it's always a personal experience/opinion.
