If the isp throttles you, why they left vpn connections alone? My guess it's just suboptimal peering on their part and/or overloaded dns server. Those are my top issues with my ISP and they're gone with vpn (vpn providers has different peering and their own dns server).
- winrid 5y agoYes, it could be. What are some good tools to debug every step in the connection? Traceroute doesn't seem super useful in this case. I have custom DNS setup, that didn't seem to improve it much. BTW traffic being faster in a VPN is pretty common for ISP throttling, for whatever reason.
- neurostimulant 5y agoBasically just traceroute, and perhaps combined with looking up your isp's peering information (and their peer's peering information, depending on how deep you want to investigate them) on peeringdb.com . For example, you might discover your isp will use route traffics to a certain website via a slow peer based on your traceroute information and data on peeringdb.com. But like you said, it's not useful to us as a customer of an ISP because we can't alter the routing table used by the ISP even if we identified a problematic routes/peers. You can try to complain to their customer support, and might get lucky if the customer support has technical authority to debug peering issues.
