Cloudflare does serve me from France. When I'm in Australia. (My ISP bought some IP addresses that were original regional France, back in the early 90s.)

- wkat4242 2y agoWow doesn't that make things really slow due to the RTT of the acknowledgements?
- shakna 2y agoAustralia. Our fastest networks are pathetically slow. The L2 FTTN parts of the NBN have been known to have an RTT in the range of minutes, for some locations. My own varies from 5ms, for those who don't assume my geography, out to 890ms for those that do.
