Site should load just fine without eDNS -- even "geo-specific" ones. They will just route you as if you came from your local Cloudflare PoP rather than your home IP; usually not a big difference since Cloudflare is in so many locations.
I'm not having any trouble with bbc.co.uk on 1.1.1.1, maybe it was a temporary hiccup.
(Disclosure: I work for Cloudflare but not on this product.)

- kentonv 8y agoOuch. Do you know which PoP (point of presence) you're hitting? To find out, Look at the last three letters in the CF-Ray header on any response from a Cloudflare site, e.g. curl -v cloudflare.com 2>&1 | grep -i CF-Ray The letters should correspond to an airport code nearby the CF server you landed on. Let me know what it says.
- miyuru 8y agoCF-RAY: 4c0c98839feb5ff3-MRS Its hitting the Marseille, France POP. I posted the issue (bad route) on the community forum a few months ago. https://community.cloudflare.com/t/high-ping-sri-lanka/15276/5 https://community.cloudflare.com/t/high-ping-sri-lanka/15276...
- kentonv 8y agoOK, so it seems like Cloudflare in general is not serving your ISP very well for some reason. :( Hopefully our network team will be able to look into it.
- ChrisSD 8y agoIt was intermittent. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The error message given suggested it was trying and failing to find a cloudflare hosted site (which to my knowledge the BBC isn't). Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what the error said. I'll try it again for awhile and see if I have any issues now.
