Are you using a lan cable? FNO? Area?
 
I know there were some outages affecting Lenasia recently
after some outages affecting Lenasia recently the issue has start to happen. like i said when doing a speed test i get the correct speeds. however to open any site takes a long time compared to before the openserve outage. please can we look into this
 
Anyone else getting packet loss on frogfoot?

could the issue be maybe on the return path ?. what can we do to troubleshoot further or get a resolution ?

Your mtr looks good though. I would have expected to see some loss which could cause an issue with slow websites. Are you using any other DNS perhaps?
 
@AfriNatic , thank you very much for the quick feedback. Will keep an eye on it. Support has done a reset for me and unless its lower than what it was.

I did add a notice on the website now.
