The jetpack seems to be less effective as your ping goes up, i tested it with other players and myself using net_fakelag 200.
My boost wouldn't be nearly as powerful if i had net_fakelag on and my bots would stay the same.

I have a jetpack function in shared.lua -

local meta = FindMetaTable("Player")
if (!meta) then return end

function meta:JetPack()

--Vector(0,0,self:GetVelocity()[3]) <cool
    local boostmagnitude = 10
    if (self.boost > 0) then
        --self.boost = self.boost - global_boostreductionrate
    self:SetGroundEntity(NULL)
        --self:SetGroundEntity(NULL)
        self:SetVelocity(self:GetUp() * boostmagnitude)
        local effectdata = EffectData()
        effectdata:SetOrigin(self:GetPos())
        util.Effect( "pixiehit", effectdata)
    end
end

I am running it here, in init.lua -

function Handlejetpack()

    for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do if v.jetpack == true then v:JetPack() else v:JetPackRegen() end end
    
end

--hook.Add("Think", "handlingjets", Handlejetpack)
timer.Create( "JetPackCheckTimer", 0.01, 0, Handlejetpack)

The jetpack is toggled here -

function Toggleonjet(pl, key)
    if key == IN_ATTACK2 then
        pl.jetpack = true
    end
end
hook.Add("KeyPress", "tooto", Toggleonjet)

function Toggleoffjet(pl, key)
    if key == IN_ATTACK2 then
        pl.jetpack = false
    end
end
hook.Add("KeyRelease", "foekfosokf", Toggleoffjet)

I'd be grateful if anyone could shed any light on the problem.

Here is a video example, I have net_fakelag on 200 here and a bot(the bot has no ping of course).

Fixed

I'm not sure why this was happening but here is what i did.

new jetpack function, essentially the same.

function meta:JetPackOn()
    local boostmagnitude = 50
    if (self.boost > 0) then
    self:SetGroundEntity(NULL)
    self:SetVelocity(self:GetUp() * boostmagnitude)
            local effectdata = EffectData()
        effectdata:SetOrigin(self:GetPos())
        util.Effect( "pixiehit", effectdata)
    end
end

function Toggleonjet(pl, key)
    if key == IN_ATTACK2 then
        pl.jetpack = true
        --timer.Start(pl:GetName())
        timer.Create(pl:GetName(), 0.1, 0, function () pl:JetPackOn() end)
    end
end
hook.Add("KeyPress", "tooto", Toggleonjet)

Toggling timers for each individual worked perfectly compared to the other method.

function Toggleoffjet(pl, key)
    if key == IN_ATTACK2 then
        pl.jetpack = false
        --timer.Stop(pl:GetName())
        timer.Destroy(pl:GetName())
    end
end
hook.Add("KeyRelease", "foekfosokf", Toggleoffjet)
