Is the forum on a go slow today?

[amirm]

All done (see above) and router was cycled this morning as I was fitting eve led light strips behind my rear wall bass traps which necessitated cycling the router to pick up the signal for Home Kit connection, took 3 attempts to post this.

Oh, didn't realize it was still going on!!! Does your ISP have any kind of status page of any issues?

 

[bloodshoteyed]

When it happens, would you please use your mobile phone if you saw the problem on land line and vice versa? That would create a different path and hopefully get us closer to what the problem could be.

seems to be more of a geo location issue than particular ISP's which use basically the same backbone routing anyway

if i had to point a finger it would be CF's issue ticket from not even 24 hours ago about data loss protection being down (tho resolved in the meantime) and now working overtime on syncing caches worldwide, hence problems occuring just for some users (who seem to be mostly from just a few regions, but grouped)

 

[amirm]

I turned off caching. Please report if there is a difference for those of you experiencing problems.

I turned off caching.

When you turn this back on can you send it to the following account number please….

It's been slow for a few days for me (UK). Seems to have improved, delay in page loading but images now appear quicker.

Thanks. That one server at 2001:7f8:4::3417:1 seems awfully slow. Don't know who that is.

Thanks. The arrow definitely points at them being slow. Seeing how they are in London, it would explain the locality of the problem.

Very bad today, every page either hangs for an age or returns a “server not responding“, is it the same for other users in the UK?

All fine up here in Edinburgh...

Too much requests on it for what it can handle for a one or the other reason and probably not great administration causing the requests to fall out of the pool and long ping. Anyway Cloud flair is best and safest there is. After all with holiday increase of bandwidth and requests and how often DoS attacks this day's are it's nothing unusual.

Hmm?, I’m only 120 miles from Edinburgh

For me I encounter lags with connections overseas regularly for years, mainly correlated to major buisiness times (daytimes) in US.
Think some (even big) providers do not provide enough bandwidth for peaks.

 

[sergeauckland]

Still intermittently bad here. Pages either hang indefinitely or return error messages that the page can't be loaded.

A few minutes later, it's fine, then goes bad again.

you could try using a VPN for your general connection or changing your DNS provider (like 1.1.1.1(1.0.0.1 i.e.) to see if other routes help with certain target sites

The problem seems to be in Niagara Falls.

Bad again today. Can take a couple of minutes to load a webpage

 

[Purité Audio]

I started to use A VPL ( I know it’s vpn really) now I am in Holland.

The Opera browser incorporates a free VPN. I have a few sites bookmarked for geolocation restricted stuff or to sometimes bypass local issues.

Could you run tracert and report?
