This looks more like Lisbon Madrid Paris London no?

Apologies for poor wording....
Would it not be beneficial for latency to go direct from Lisbon to USA, and cut out the whole EU transit "ring"?
Since you break out at Lisbon coming from South Africa, then from Lisbon --> USA, Lisbon --> Latin America, Lisbon --> EU, Lisbon --> Asia...... and so on and so on..........
EDIT:
So cut all this out........

Well yes, realistically there arent any undersea cables that run from Lisbon to the US. From a routing or "hop" perspective its insignificant. From a latency perspective it would make sense to me to go Lisbon <> London <> US
286ms including the FNO last mile is not bad for US West.

Still arb its via Paris though
Aaah, I read now there are direct cables coming in 2026 and 2027 between Portugal and USA.

Via Vanilla ISP CT its 268ms they using HE to get there
Route is LIS -> UK -> US so skips Paris
Yeah if I check 1299 looking glass.
From London its 129ms, giving you 269ms if you add LON <> CTN (140ms)
When I check their Lisbon Router, its 156ms, giving you 270ms if you add LIS <> CPT (114ms)
Not really much of a difference if you ask me
Then add JHB <>CTN and you get that 285-290ms range

Liquid Telecoms also offloads to HE from Miami. Liquid has a very low-capacity route to Miami so they are controlling it. V4 goes via France also.

Hi, i recently moved to the 150/150 package and I haven't been hitting those speeds, I'm ranging between 145 - 147 down and up. Cool ideas been on the case and they said metrofibre sees no issue on the line so there's no need to check it out, they also said most users that are on 150 package don't hit those speeds either so I just want to find out is that true?

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. It's completely normal and no cause for concern if you are getting 145-147. You will see no performance impact as the variance is negligible & within acceptable ranges.
This variance is also normal when doing speed testing on different servers, some servers may give you full speed, where others shows your line is very poor. A lot of factors to consider, but 2%-3.4% decrease does not point to any particular fault on your line.
What sort of issues are you facing, apart from speed tests?
Hi All, Seems like cloudflare is having issues again.
If you are having issues accessing, our website, Mybroadband or any other Cloudflare hosted site, its likely related
You will get something like Error 502 Bad Gateway
