It's an ongoing issue. The main issue is why are the Fastly EU cdn so slow because there is plenty of transit capacity.

Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

I found these 2 ip addresses for Cool Ideas DNS servers so have set these up 154.0.1.10 and 154.0.1.150 as well as 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9. Thanks for the reply cavedog. I am using 2 instances of Adguard Home and wanted to put different DNS servers in each. I also found this site which works well...

It's affecting all ISP's actually even if you use cloudflare warp there is no improvement.

IF you block those Fastly ranges and start the download you can download from a Liquid Telecoms Microsoft cache that Afrihost has access to.

Let me see if we can get a few Microsoft caches deployed on-net to speed things up.

I assume I need to be using Afrihost's DNS and not Quad9 for this.

Block this in your windows firewall for both incoming and outgoing rules.

199.232.0.0/16

Then reboot and try again.

Fastly CDN does not serve traffic locally anymore for Xbox game download, Microsoft updates and other high traffic sites like @Vorastra mentioned. They serve it from EU.

All this does is block imgur for me.

Apart from blocking this IP range on the firewall. Is the IP range correct that I blocked or is there other ranges also to block to force to Liquid Telecoms Microsoft cache? Could Afrihost not direct that traffic to Liquid Telecoms Microsoft cache?

I think we have a few servers around we can deploy this on. Once approved I will see if I can get a poc (proof of concept) cache up.

Will this cache servers only helped with Microsoft products or also with downloads like Nvidia?

In replied to cavedog, blocking the IP range he listed in incoming/outgoing just blocks Imgur completely for me. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Did a PC restart and changed DNS back to Afrihost's. No difference.

I assume you guys will put an article up in the site so people can reference.
