Suggestion: Run reflector before install
Figuring out why parallel downloads is not being used even though it's in the configuration would definitely help as well as increasing the amount of mirrors tested

Suggestion: Run reflector before install
Both need it ideally, I've had even worse speeds on initial installation sometimes sub 100k

If it is though it should really be latest 25. I have found that's enough to pretty much guarantee you can get one able to utilize your bandwidth. 5 isn't enough to ensure that in my experience

Suggestion: Run reflector before install
The code has 
with open('/.new_rootfs/etc/pacman.conf', 'w') as modified: modified.write(data.replace("[options]", "[options]\nParallelDownloads = 32\n")) 
with open('/.new_rootfs/etc/pacman.conf', 'w') as modified: modified.write(data.replace("[options]", "[options]\nParallelDownloads = 32\n"))
But updates do not use parallel downloads, i also see what looks like reflector 
exec_chroot('reflector', '--latest', '5', '--protocol', 'https', '--sort', 'rate', '--save', '/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist')
exec_chroot('reflector', '--latest', '5', '--protocol', 'https', '--sort', 'rate', '--save', '/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist')
But since the parallel command doesn't actually apply to updates i can't be sure this is the exact string reflector is using

It's hard to tell what it's actually doing because when we looked at whether or not it was using parallel it looks like it should be but it's not

Yeah I've been digging and it seems it does. I'm still trying to find where in its files to figure out exactly what command is using because it's doing horrifically

I'll just chalk it down to probably a yaml issue

Apparmor support?
Ok, finally got this next test system working after a stupid mistake with the system yaml. However now app armor is working perfectly fine so I have no idea why it was broken on the previous test system

Suggestion: Run reflector before install
Yeah that's what I've been doing, but it really should just be integrated as part of the install/update process which is why I tagged both install and update

Suggestion: Run reflector before install
At least not for me, I've been installing it quite a bit recently as I'm testing if I want to deploy these at work so I've been installing it on a lot of different networks and when I forget to manually run reflector I always end up with a painfully slow download

Suggestion: Run reflector before install
I'm aware that it can be changed manually I'm just suggesting that it should be done automatically before the system is installed, pretty typical on a lot of distributions these days

Closest != fastest is the problem. These are file downloads we don't care about latency. A lot of other distributions will run reflector before they start the install process for exactly that reason
