Google at least proxied everything over their own private fiber. Cloudflare proxies it over the public internet on a long route (since they terminate SSL as close to the client as possible).
- problems 10y agoPrivate fiber in other people's datacenters. Better I suppose, but not much.

- problems 10y agoThat has nothing to do with using fiber vs internet though. EDIT: Original comment said he could pull content off Google results.

They still go through other people's datacenters and that's what causes the problem - we're not talking about stuff that goes over wifi or corporate networks here - we're talking generally just big ISPs in both cases.
