Poorly bunny has many us services that get your personal data. https://bunny.net/privacy/ Tableau will receive your personal, billing and account consumption details. MixPanel will receive your personal account details as well as information. Active Campaign will receive your personal, billing, and account consumption information.

Thanks for this info

Bunny.net explicitly names third parties handling user data, while Cloudflare’s policy is more vague, referring only to "third-party service providers" without listing specific companies.

I like the bunny policy more. It is more transparent.

This is all cool, but: > BunnyCDN was pretty consistently returning my blog post a few hundred milliseconds faster than Cloudflare Makes me think that author's CF was misconfigured. Unless you're in a zone with really bad interconnects, like Brazil, or African locations, multiple hundreds of milliseconds shouldn't be possible as the baseline, much less as the difference in the saved latency.

In my experience bunny has lower latency than cloudflare. I can confirm.

Hundreds of milliseconds though? Seems highly doubtful, Cloudflare has latency in the range of 10-20 ms for most metropolitan areas, that they would that ten times that much for returning a blog post seems unlikely unless caching or other things are misconfigured.

Context for comment readers. Author switched as was looking for a non-US provider

Though that makes little sense in the context of a CDN. I think Bunny uses US providers like Zenlayer for their egress there, so they’re just a middle man in my understanding. I don’t think there’s any EU provider that runs their own CDN hardware infrastructure in the US.

There is a long-standing dispute between Cloudflare and Germany's biggest ISP, Telekom, which results in terrible peering for Cloudflare free traffic for Telekom customers here. Sites on the Cloudflare Pro plan are not affected by this somehow.

If the author is a Telekom customer, then they would absolutely see 100ms+ improvements.

i.e. Cloudflare is paying and needs you (the customer) to cover the cost.
