Why is Montreal reporting abnormally high response times across the board?

For example:

# Cloudflare Toronto 3.42ms vs. Montreal 17ms;

# Google Toronto 9.42ms vs. Montreal 16.71ms.

Perhaps that particular test setup doesn't go to QIX where both of them are present. Cloidflare much faster from QIX peering nonetheless.

I live in Montréal, and I saw the same tendency. Cloudflare has a datacenter here. Waiting for a tangible explanation…

Are you using BIG ISP or small? Big guys don't peer at QIX and drag your traffic to US. On other side, smaller players peer at QIX https://qix.ca/members
