Yeah, KZN here too, openserve, and I'm also having terrible load times on steam.
Specifically the cdn.fastly.steamstatic.com, currently resolving to 199.232.211.52, routing via liquidtelecom
Cloudflare One connection instantly resolves the speed issue, so definitely something with the routing...
Just to note: make sure you're accessing a steam page you haven't accessed before. Steam caches loaded images so pages you've hit before load quickly, while new pages show the slow image loading issue.
I will say, its better than it was. Last night images just refused to load. Now it seems they are loading, but much slower than they should on my connection.
Edit: Spoke too soon, its back to dog slow...
Yes, I am on openserve.

Content serving on steam's store definitely degraded. https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com
Downloads seem ok now so maybe that was just a hiccup. I've had intermittent issues with youtube, but nothing like as bad.
All devices on my network having issues with steam, and when I switch to...
So weird one, but hopefully this helps someone:
For anyone having issues with Twitch buffering on the Akamai CDN, touch wood I found something that works.
I changed my DNS from Afrihost's automatically allocated on to using 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as a backup. Seems like this change means the...
0d1f979f580c.chantenay.akamai.hls.ttvnw.net is also using afrihosts ip, 169.1.36.136.
This one appears to be flip flopping between allowing full bandwidth, and then suddenly back to restricted.
Are there issues with the afrihost twitch content server?
For a while now we've been having random buffering. What was strange is we could switch to a different stream and it would be fine.
After looking at the advanced stats, it looks like the bandwidth on some streams was drastically lower...
Yeah I'm having issues like this too, and it seems completely random. It will drop to low speed, then jump back to full. Watching twitch streams is alternating between full bandwidth and 180kbps, making quality jump back and forth multiple times a minute.
