Cloudfare having too many outages every now and then. Websites tend to load slower or not opening at all. Archive.org was completely blocked from their end worldwide. Google is performing relatively better at the moment.

whats the update on pakistan internet exchange? is it working fine now or still something going on there?
Check outage log in the first post. I'll try to keep it updated whenever I notice something is off, or from updates that you guys post in this thread.

For now it seems okay.

Only CloudFlare and sites using it as a CDN are affected.

Thank you so much Murtaza. I owe you one. My friend who is on storm fiber also had similar results as yours. I will post mine below. For some reason my 3rd hop always results in a request timeout. I have also noticed that the modulation settings seem to effect the routing/ping for some reason. E.g on adsl2+ modulation with SRA Enabled my ping increases by 100 ms for some reason. All those servers which give me around 230 ping give me around 330-340 ping and if i disable SRA it returns back to 230-240 range. I think it may have to do with my line or router :(

Anyway here are my results.


74.201.107.109 (NA server) So its expected to be around 230 mark:

If your line is stable and your stats don't fluctuate, disable SRA. That's only recommended for weak lines.

I would say my line is stable because i haven't seen any frequent disconnections for over a month now. My SNR stats also seem solid. 29 DB on Downstream and 12 DB on Upstream. But i'm still clueless on why i'm facing this issue. Gonna add an image of the past 24 hours stats.

Attenuation is quite high. Are you far away from the DP?

Nah, Its like 30 feet away from my home. Like if you walk from my home to the DP it takes less than 10 seconds. My connection used to be from a DP like right across my home but my connection wasn't stable. It still had the high attenuation. Our line quality is quite shit TBH. I'm like 300 meters from the Cabinet and like 1 KM from the exchange.

Congrats. Keep visiting the exchange. It will speed up the process.
[MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION] These packet loss counters.. They're incremental I think. Like, in a week if it says 2100 that means an approximate of 300 packets were dropped daily.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
