I am loving my Edgerouter 4 + Unifi APs. Home network is rock solid. If only I could figure out why my ISP is dropping 20% of packets to Cloudflare DNS.

- blacksmith_tb 6y agoNot sure about your ISP, but CenturyLink for me seems to have something against 1.1.1.1, but not 1.0.0.1 though.
- whalesalad 6y agoI am on WOW. It seems like the connection to Chicago is the problem and that is where most of my traffic goes (I am in Detroit) but requests to MSP are fine. I notice similar issues when loading images via the ORD datacenter.
- selectodude 6y agoCloudflare has been having some weird issues with Chicago lately. I had to outright ditch them recently and switch to OpenDNS because my internet would just stop working due to their DNS failing.
- whalesalad 6y agoHuh, that’s a helpful datapoint. I figured it was just WOW customers because we have been having frequent outages recently. I am on Level3 now since after running some benchmarks it appears to be the fastest for me.
