On the 100/20 plan since snap, noticed the connection speed to China recently has become unbearable, when doing speedtest to cities like China and Beijing i get either Time Out connection or extremely slow speeds around 1Megabit/s DL/UP

Wondering if anyone else is having similar problems.

Cheers

sbiddle: How is your traffic routing to get there?

I just did a simple test on speedtest.net which only gave ping and speed. Would i have to do a traceroute on cmd line to get the routing?

I'm on 2degrees 100/20 UFB. I just did a speedtest.net test to beijing, I got 32 down and 5 up, which is completely usable. Strange that you are having a different experience.

If it is any consolation I've been having the same issue (Spark) trying to reach Alipay (the paypal-like service run by Alibaba) and it keeps timing out - my Chinese mate in China doesn't have any problems though.
