Yesterday MyBB website was inaccessible for a half day. When restored during the night, it is sluggish. Telkom cellular connection. The fault is @Cloudflare or Telkom return path:

I'm having similar problems on my Telkom LTE connection!
Whenever I browse a site that makes use of cloudflare.com for any resources, those cloudflare.com resources just don't load at all. (on Firefox the status bar at the bottom left shows "connecting to cdnjs.cloudflare.com..." for minutes and minutes and just gives up.
If I test the same site after connecting my machine to my MTN Cellphone's mobile hotspot, then the site loads perfectly without an issue.
 
Cloudflare was having routing issues in Capetown yesterday.
