Am seeing some degraded performance from Fastly but other then that 🤷‍♀️

 

Gonna need more info on where you're seeing degraded traffic.

Ping to where?

 

If all traffic to your ISP first hop is 500+ ms then international performance will be more affected than local/national due to how Internet protocols work.

Be really helpful if there would be any files or anything other than ICMP packets to test against however I am seeing the same packet loss once we hit lax01 as per your MTR.

yep http://173.82.134.109/1000MB.test

 

The server has 1Gbit port and pulls locally in LA 100MB per second and on average around 30-40MB per second to NZ

Yeah through Vocus that sucks.

 

 

 

Will mention that I am not seeing any issues with anything else including fast.com so this could be entirely localized in a region.

I have been seeing some weirdness today as well.  Only real point of reference currently is to the World of tanks servers where I am seeing horrible ping and packet loss.  pretty much unplayable currently.

I was seeing 60% packet loss on the lax01 hop earlier but didn't save the trace.....

 

 

 

Packet loss is all over the place:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks to have started around 10am today:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ping dropped a bit earlier this week too by the looks:

And general browsing of internet there is lag due to lag packet loss.

Now I get to do the fun part and retract.

 

I am seeing a lot of severely degraded traffic the moment it hits USA LAX on Vocus.

This is painful and I am glad I moved all of my hosted stuff back home and in NZ. At least traffic to Aussie seems unaffected(don't have enough data to go on).

 

 

 

Hoping for a fix.

My performance is terrible today too, it has been like this for a few days actually but today is particularly bad.  I'm paying for the 950Mbps Boost plan.

 

 

 

A few speedtests (upload speed is fairly good):
