I found a topic from Q1/2021 which said CF is working on it and cannot give an ETA. CF did stop routing TATA communications in Frankfurt (AS6453).
Just noticed that I am routed to Paris. Ping is >50ms to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 both responds time is >13ms
@oneandonlyjason did you receive any news via your ticket?
It’s hard to believe, that CF - running one of the largest CDNs in the world - takes months or even has no ETA at all to fix the routing of the biggest ISPs (Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone) in an industry leading nation?!
These incumbents, eyeball hostage takers, are the European equivalent of Comcast or Telstra in AUS, they won’t peer domestically or at least not in the same state in the USA, or if they do they’ll keep the capacity deliberately constrained - here’s a 10gig cross connect but we don’t have peering capacity for the other 390gbit of traffic you want to exchange, ultimately they want to CF to purchase paid transit from their edge locations to them - quite often in same building that the peering fabric is in.
So we have a bit more context, can you please also provide us with the plain text output of the following commands from the device(s) where issues were observed?
Replace example.com with your site and feel free to send me these details back on the ticket for our analysis. With this, I can loop in someone from our networking team to weigh in on the situation at hand.
I did send the requested output for cloudflare.com and one.one.one.one as I am not a direct customer of yours. I did notice that my local DNS server no longer was using 1.1.1.1 but 8.8.8.8 due to slow response time, so I started analyzing the traffic und digging in the internet
Pls also look at my images from the initial post in the ticket. The ping times to 1.1.1.1 vary by day time (e.g.11 pm - 11am: 20ms, 11am - 11pm: 40ms), while 8.8.8.8 response constantly at 13ms, no change during day time.
If DTAG have CF over a barrel, then it’s unlikely you’ll will see to FRA ingestion for Dtag eyeballs on Free/Pro plans, it would simply be too expensive without going to AWS/Azure/GCP per gig pricing. My bet would be CF would say something but is constrained by confidential agreements during and after negotiations. Many transit providers dont have links with DTAG within Germany, but peer with them in nearby countries as a compromise. I recall reading Telia do have in country though, however a bit like bundle merchant account pricing vs interchange++, if CF pushed all their DTAG traffic over Telia then Telia would pull the plug or adjust pricing to reflect that…
Since it looks like 1.1.1.1 isn’t ingesting in FRA then you can probably presume its not even available on the higher plans
I do see this too.
Ping times to 1.1.1.1 dropped from 23ms to 18ms on June 7th and on June 9th they even dropped down to 12ms. That’s quite the response Google DNS has (8.8.8.8, 11ms).
Is it just luck or magic or did somebody alter something on purpose?
I noticed it too a few Days ago. It seems like they removed Tata which was disabled in the Frankfurt POP and switched to Telecom Italia Sparkle. The AS6762 seems to have a pretty bad Reputation. But it is at least a little little bit faster then to route Everything to Paris (at least for me right now) and the Ping Time is a lot better when stuff is routed over Frankfurt (Before >50ms now 7-10ms)
