Not sure about your ISP, but CenturyLink for me seems to have something against 1.1.1.1, but not 1.0.0.1 though.

I am on WOW. It seems like the connection to Chicago is the problem and that is where most of my traffic goes (I am in Detroit) but requests to MSP are fine. I notice similar issues when loading images via the ORD datacenter.

Cloudflare has been having some weird issues with Chicago lately. I had to outright ditch them recently and switch to OpenDNS because my internet would just stop working due to their DNS failing.

Huh, that’s a helpful datapoint. I figured it was just WOW customers because we have been having frequent outages recently. I am on Level3 now since after running some benchmarks it appears to be the fastest for me.
