On another topic, I noticed that apple and akamai traffic is not using the on-net caches anymore, and using "ZANOG" caches instead.

Not necessarily a bad thing as CPT ZANOG caches are technically closer, but its not on-net and not controlled by CISP, just thought I would mention this.

In your case it looks like it's because you aren't using CISPs DNS servers. Apple cache traffic is steered with dns

Worked fine via vpn (us).

So without VPN it's slow but on VPN it's fine? That's so weird

tp-link router?
if so, have you changed the mtu to the appropriate byte(number).

Reckon @PBCool may be right about the cause being Google maintenence. YT performance has been iffy for about a week intermittently and MTRs to the cache looked fine at the time..

Yeah, it's one of things based on what content, I do believe they are done with their maintenance.
