reddit

Thought reddit seemed a bit slow, did a trace route. I wonder if the problems I'm experiencing are more of an issue of VF and their Cable & Wireless network?

First hop is Draytek, the second VF's gash router which they insist I keep in place for their troubelshooting.


C:\Users\matth>tracert www.reddit.com

Tracing route to reddit.map.fastly.net [151.101.1.140]

and then we compare to TBB which seems to miss all the C&W stuff

Rubbish video taken on my phone... but check out the early 1990s dialup like performance

No other network/internet traffic occurring. Quality stuff

Probably being filtered

There has been horrible Vodafone congestion from 2000 to 2250 across the network by the looks of it. My single thread speeds dropped to under 5meg tonight, with multi's at 25meg on a line synced at 54.9 meg.

All routes were routed via New York, and then back to London, back to normal for me now though.

Try a speedtest to Interoute VDC (London) and that will be poor, but Interoute (Sough) seems to be significantly better, curious as the routes are identical

reddit is a bit different and significantly slower - hop 5 which is the same on all routes seems to be the trigger for it running slow for reddit only....
