Over here in East Malaysia using Cloudflare DNS (connected to JHB PoP) on Unifi Home, legal streaming sites using Akamai CDN is totally unusable at night. Infinite buffering/loading until it errors out. Pinging the domains serving the videos results in packet loss. IPv6 is enabled but Akamai CDN for the videos seem to only use IPv4.

Addon: Looking up the IPs involved points to Singapore. So even connection to Singapore is 300ms+ with packet loss!
for optimized node.
Cloudflare DNS didn't support this feature thus Akamai IP may resolved to Singapore instead of local Akamai node.
