Routes to Amazon Nothern Virginia AWS very slow
Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2022 11:43 pm
Hi there, I am on Sonic gigabit, in the outer sunset. I've been having a major slowdown to my schools servers and many websites over the last month.
I did some trouble shooting, I hooked straight in to my router with a windows PC as a control, as I normally use a wireless mac book.
I utilize bocce.online.berklee.edu for school and this is where I first noticed it... But I've also noticed it on websites that utilize amazon S3 to download updates for apps and what not. Not all of the content from my school's server is being served very slow, as the assignments take several minutes to load. Additionally when I download files from certain sites, including assignment related files the throughput is ion average 10-30 KB/s.
I ruled out my network equipment the following way:
1) I allowed my net equipment to use the default DNS, I rebooted all equipment including the fiber ONT. Still same thing. I had a bright idea and tried the cloudflare "warp" VPN service and suddenly all the sites and what not are FLYYYYING.. normal sonic speeds. Turn it off and back to the molasses.
Is it possible one of the tunnels or what not is messed up? I do not have IPv6 configured on my router.. should i?
Best regards,
Jacob
