Is there anything that can explain this? It doesn’t seem to matter which DNS server I use, even with 1.1.1.1 I get the same issue.
I’m located in the Netherlands, so I assume that I should be served by the AMS node instead of a node in London (with 96 ms latency!!) or Newark.

It wouldn’t be a DNS issue, as the IP addresses for that domain should be the same worldwide.

I find it strange why doesn’t happen with all Cloudflare IP’s.
So what should I do? If I ring up my ISP, they will suggest to restart the router (which probably won’t help a bit).
