I am actually using 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 (quad 9 imho is better than google).

I've reverted on your ticket. No issues on our side. Local resolution of sites is because they're being fed from CDNs we peer with locally (so they're actually local sites).
Saw a blip on 8.8.8.8 a few mins ago, so might be that. Set your DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 for now.
Update: Looks like pages mentioned by @Senshi were pages served by Fastly CDN. I don't remember these pages being served by the CDN until today (that being said they may have been).

If anyone would like to see a Twitch Ingest proxy or HTTP proxy - let me know!
Yeah would be Keen to see one
Can anyone explain why it is when I do speed tests on my 1Gbps service with Websquad on Vumatel aerial to any Joburg servers I get over 900 Mbps yet when I do the same test to Durban or Cape Town servers speeds drop right down to around 350Mbps I thought with the 1 Gbps service I should be getting more or less similar speeds locally on the 1 Gbps service, am I missing something?
welcome to the 1Gbps club! We've covered this in a previous post, but to recap. You should see a variance in results from the national tests as each provider carries their own traffic nationally and hands over at a local exchange. Speedtest traffic is low priority and most SPs don’t want this affecting user experience. But you will see a gbps from the local exchange without issue (assuming the source isn’t rate limiting).

HI there websquad, sent u a pm at 13.20 yesterday .. Still waiting for a reply?
Replied. Apologies for the delay.
I'm pretty sure that vumatel aerial has been given me problems because for some reason I'm not getting Internet access at all. Vumatel gave me a DZS(?) modem, and after I plugged the fibre optics cable into my previous modem it still doesn't give me any Internet access. The ladies at websquad have helped me a lot today but unfortunately I'm still without Internet access. Hopefully a vumatel technician can help me out tomorrow
Thanks! I'll pass on the message
Hi Websquad, seem to be having a problem tonight, getting 8 meg speedtest results locally and 1.9 megs internationally, upload seems ok. Is there an issue?
No known issues. Could be network related. Can you please submit a ticket for tracking?
Will log a ticket now, definitely still a problem, speed has picked up but only half at local, getting like 25 megs to Midrand on my 50 meg line which usually maxes out....
