100% my suspect is on the network caches and it is YouTube and Epic games (Akamai). As Warp would bypass their on network caches and use their own or a public one. I am using Afrihost DNS as well.
It could also be transit as Netflix and Cloudflare are in Dbn where I am located and YouTube and...
Hi Afrigirl
It basically is for me YouTube, Epic games and Disney+
Everything else including international shows full speed.
Epic games at times will use 20% of my speed and Warp will max it out all on the same device and all within 30 seconds of each other cabled.
In fact I just tested it side by side
Stats for nerds : Tv plugged in via Ethernet but YouTube shorts also show the same issue
YouTube on Afrihost - 8321kbps dropping down to 720p60 speedtests show my line speed
*tested within 30 seconds of each other
Warp on YouTube - 30570kbps...
Yes it is awful 100mb line cannot even watch a 1080p60 video
Get Afrihost to fix it and nothing happens YouTube is crap, epic games is crap, Disney+ at times and all magically fixed when I enable warp. Netflix on Afrihost is flawless never buffered in years
Tired of this awful service...
Makes sense, all the services I have issues with is via JHB and I am in Durban, Netflix works with no issues as the CDN is in Durban, warp also resolves in Durban. Youtube, Disney+, Steam, Epic games all in JHB.... Seems your theory on the Liquid transit is correct.
Having the usual issues on multiple services again. Once again Cloudflare warp magically makes my issues disappear....
From YouTube to Epic games downloads crawling to 1-2mbps on a 100/50 line, YouTube struggling to load a 720p video, shorts buffering, Disney+ as well buffering. Somehow...
Although that is no guarantee to prevent high data usage even if forced to 4G as that can easily reach 50-150mbps which will still select 4K on prime or any streaming service. Best bet would be to get a router to handle this, my old Huawei AX3 could limit the bandwidth for a specific device say...
