My isp got the brilliant idea of rolling their own YouTube cache servers. It's great in theory but in or active they're under powered and so at peak hours I can't even stream 240p on my 500mbits connection. I've had to block their cache servers in my firewall for YouTube to be butter smooth at 1080p consistently. Another example is bell Canada who used to mine your DNS queries to profile you for ads, or ISPs that hig…

The YouTube cache is probably there not to increase performance for you, but to reduce ISP cost (ISP pays for all data received from outside of their network)

Even for data not delivered via their cache they'll get free peering with Google. But having cache servers at several locations reduces the capacity they need to peering points. E.g. in the UK, most traffic gets peered in London so having cache servers in Northern England reduces the bandwidth they need for their internal network within the country.

I don't think ISPs pay much for peering in Europe.

Which ISPs are so bad that you want to use external services, which are further in distance than your ISP, for speed? When I test with my ISP, they beat all of these services (both IPv4 and IPv6). They're simply closer to me in terms of hops. My router is another story though. The Fritzbox (>200eur router) adds 6ms of latency, and that's what is advertised over DHCP. (Might still be fine, since cached queries are fas…

Does no one bother to run their own DNS server? It's not hard---in fact, it's easier than running an authoritative DNS server, since you are only using it for local resolving. I ran the provided script, added my own local resolver, and after the first run, got incredibly fast results. test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 test7 test8 test9 test10 Average cloudflare 35 ms 38 ms 39 ms 33 ms 34 ms 39 ms 28 ms 33 ms 28 ms…

If you live close to a peering point, both CF and Google will have mean ping times <10ms, often even <5ms. I doubt there's any real world difference between using localhost and either of them. As they cache results, using them could actually be faster than your own server.

Be careful with that, Google DNS (as an example) will start ignoring your DNS requests if you go over the rate-limit. Not an issue for home users, but an issue for any sizeable business.

Google DNS also has issues resolving DNSSEC-enabled Cloudflare domains.

Interesting! Do you have any examples?
