Just coming for info, today going to China one seem fixed some part of it.

These few days it is laggy when Taobao client drop the user to China Mainland DNS, if forcing them going through local DNS will go to HK server.

But not today, unsure what they done, maybe they reroute some SG traffic going via HK back to SG?



For going SG one(twitter etc), still the same.

For Lazada, seem like Lazada and Akamai do something for this case, even when getting SG server from DNS, most are getting normal latency like 10-20ms.
Like 69.192.164.66, going via sgix, no issues, 20ms.
Another like 163.181.36.227 going via singtel, no issues, 10ms.

But, 23.44.0.3 is going via telstra HK, then going back to SG...

What??



CloudFlare default to HK, in history it was default to SG, then KUL, then SG, and last, HK.

When using 1.1.1.1 WARP now, you will get slower speed overall, but stable connection to China Mainland server, for HK and SG, those are good for other country than China Mainland server.
If you get your preferred WARP server via you mobile data etc, don't reset the APP data, or it will force back to HK server.

www.vaksincovid.gov.my and lowyat.net are also getting reroute to far far away, like telstra at Japan or HK.


So, seem like telstra or TM are doing something, what is it? and why?

I can comment on PCCW, PCCW always break during Taobao big sale, when lot of Malaysian are browsing Taobao.
I think which is why they putting less rate on it.

PCCW HKG not just for Aliyun(Taobao), it also used for Tencent server, which is responsible for WeChat and QQ services, as Tencent moved the traffic to SG server like 1-2 month ago, so traffic to PCCW had become less issues, or I can say, stable now.

Last year at this time, Taobao will be unable to use after 12 PM, QQ also will be kicking the user out because of unstable connection, you need to reroute the group chat picture to China mainland server or it will be sharing same HK server as chat, which causing disconnect of QQ because too much traffic on it.
Using TCP connect method can avoid disconnect, but once you are kicked out and wanna login at night, well, you are dead.


Today, I can get stable Taobao service that connect to HK CDN server, and still laggy on China Mainland, also no issues on QQ anymore.
But Tencent SG are using Singtel la, so might not related to this laggy issues.

I think you are sawing less traffic on PCCW HKG is because, Tencent moved their oversea users to SG server, which including Malaysian la.


So yes, if they trying to put more rate on PCCW HKG, it will break, again, which revert the HK connection back to before Tencent SG is online.

PS: I am not tech enough, so I just saying what I saw and understanding la.

Just having quick check, Amazon at SG server, known as laggy experience for Lazada.

video-edge-c67e3c.sin01.abs.hls.ttvnw.net


Having quick check on Live, getting r7---sn-uh-h31l.googlevideo.com.
Server is TM peer.

r2---sn-30a7yne7.googlevideo.com, server is Google, Malaysia.

Either IPv4 or IPv6 is same server, no lag.


More info needed from your side, because Google decide which server you should connect.

Yes, but 90% of important API/website only on US, HK and China Mainland, so...

Try h5api-intl.m.taobao.com, api.m.taobao.com, which used for any webpage in Taobao client.

Also item.taobao.com, detail.tmall.com, rate.taobao.com for desktop webpage.

But still happy got many of them moving to SG and MY la, but not enough, just home page and mobile webpage...
The product page and shop's page still in China Mainland, not even HK server...


I tested for him, can watch, not original quality la, unless you prefer <720p la.

Can be, which server are you connect to?

Mine is 180.74.x.x, to video-edge-c67e3c.sin01.abs.hls.ttvnw.net, Amazon SG, latency can get high to 1s.

It is easy to spot a QoS or throttle issues, just watch the third ping result from Best Trace, when it as high as 1s, then yes throttle.
---
Just reloaded, kicked me to video-edge-7e9334.hkg01.abs.hls.ttvnw.net, HKG is fine.

Guess like YouTube, need the server kicked you to the nearby server that fine.

Hmm, this is website or video server?
I am getting 45.113.129.82 which is under Amazon unknown link.

Yes, just like old time with Youtube, just reload to get yourself a HK server without lag.

Easy method, add



to ublock origin(adblock), when no video then it means you need to reload.

Why?
F12 is enough.

Scroll to the bottom of waterfall/timeline, the one keep showing up is the latest DASH segment of video getting loading, should last 1-2s of loading/dow time

Click on it, then you will saw the IP address

Ya, but unless you keep monitoring the network, simple is enough for newbie ma.

Ya, guess twitch fast(?) enough and reroute new users to HK server, after detecting new Malaysia user stutter too much.

Patent should know what to do now.

Yours is worst...

Anyways, jitter is bit higher on IPv6, both can get as high as 50-150ms, just pure luck that this screenshot got only 5ms jitter on IPv4.

Guess who closed to KUL which is the main redirect for MY traffic will get lower trouble?

Yup, talk about PCCW HK few pages ago, it is always a trouble for people using Tencent software(QQ/WeChat) as it is going via PCCW HK to Tencent HK server.
Worst is during MCO 1.0, where the whole world stay at home and overloading PCCW.

Lucky they open and move oversea users to SG server before MCO 3.0 happen, what's left are the image server still going via PCCW HK.

PS: Packet loss happen at internal route of PCCW HK, I google about normal PCCW HK ISP users, wow, so many complain...
PS2: So now can confirm the overload also because TM sending people to PCCW HK then back to SG, another problem solved for me.


---
For CloudFlare, yes, 2 possible routes to SG, I used WARP+FAST(speedtest) for testing, they always got 2 conditions, worst(1 Mbps) or good(30+ Mbps).
90% it is good routing la.


---
UniFi gonna getting worst, as long as Streamyx user coming to UniFi, and International route still not improving on time.

Unlike other country which connect to local CDN server that nearby them, within country, and greatly reducing international traffic with caching, we are going to other country asking for data, but TM just like, never mind la.

As far as I know, it is because opening server at Malaysia not cheap, so they going to other country like SG and HK, and well.
Payback coming back to TM now, National Fiberisation, free speed upgrade from 10M-100M to 30M-800M, and TNB allo joining the market.

PS3: Just correct me if I am wrong la.

7 years ago, when UniFi 10M just showing up, Streamyx throttling Google ISP server Malaysia to 480kbps, including Google Search, as shown in the Task Manager.

How I know it?
Around that time, when IPv6 showing up, I got full speed for using IPv6, then after sometimes, going back to 480kbps, then I know, ya, TM throttling and just lucky that IPv6 don't got QoS system when it is enabled for the first time.

So ya, they saying about after going out Malaysia then it is not their issues, but they can't explain about this throttle happen 7 years ago.


This also helps me to learn that, YouTube assign which server to you, also other video streaming platform.
(7 years ago, a triple reload on YouTube will assigned TM peer server to you and solved this issues, but DNS still give you Google MY ISP server instead of TM peer server, which means you take 2-3 second to open a Google search...)

Yes, spotted a lot of HK connection going via HKIX now, also stable.

In the meanwhile, some SG CDN server are having crappy experience, like 139.159.241.37(bilibili.com) which is capitalonline.net.
Not sure it is TM or the server side issues as it is directly connect, but it will hang on connection, switching to HK server works as normal, so.

Crap, copy wrong IP address, sorry for that.
164.52.39.44(bilibili.com)

No going through any ISP, from TM direct to capitalonline.net.

It will hang the connection, and required whole app to be reopen, turning on and off the WiFi to cut the connection/link don't works.
For website, it will just, no respond, end up with timeout or peer reset.
---
Lot of website also facing same issues, connection hang, but it is on China Mainland, like DMZJ.
Looking great on loading image via long scrolling, suddenly, hang.

Using chrome://net-internals/#sockets to force flush socket don't fix it, need to wait certain amount of reload will fix it.

On mobile, I just use Tachiyomi to view the DMZJ, also same issues, turning off and on the WiFi will fix it sometimes, 20% chance, but you can observe via the loading icon.
By observing the loading icon, 30% hang on connect to server but no respond, 60% connected to server but no contents received from server side, 10% image loading slow and required to turn off and on the WiFi.

Using WARP not fixed and killed ability to turn off and on the WiFi for workaround it, but my friend in China not reporting such issues, so this issues only happen to Malaysia, which is interesting.

Also same to Taobao, but it only happen to high packet loss connection, if switched to China Telecom or China Mobile server(HK server the best la) then okay la.

Ok then, because the server itself told me it is SG when 503 gateway error, F12 also can see the name as SG..
So it means that, even TM Business user got crappy connection to CN, and I need to find a method to reach the real SG server, or just stick with HK server then...

Still gonna missing good old time, when ADSL 512kbps, just 70ms to CN with best IP range.

SG, but you said it is at MY, so...
First time saw a server claim at SG, but at MY, because cost at MY is higher than SG, with crappy connection some more...

And, I always use hosts file to manual switch over the server with IP address, so no need VPN for that.
Unless it is like CloudFlare, which is unicast(or whatever) IP address, and redirected by ISP, this one I hate the most la.

Also, lot of service sensitive to VPN, like Taobao, one of my friend just get shadow ban and unable to do daily coins mission now, so not a good choice to bypass bad route by ISP/TM.

Lucky got screenshot, here you go.



F12 now reporting as blzone04 la, so nothing change, same CDN IP address as 7.14.

This one is server down la, normally they will serve you a page with 40x error code comic.

I guess someone got SG VPN can helps traceroute, so if it going via TM ISP, then we know it is at MY, or it is just strange server that connect directly via TM.
----
Even TM watching RTM Olympus are having 5ms low latency but laggy experience sometimes, can be lot of users watching la.

You may ask Time to fix it, as it is within Malaysia, so it should not be too hard to tweak for them, and RTM is official news channel for Malaysia.
Hmm, a bit la, like drop to 1M/s(someone posted 50M picture at that China forum, so it keep testing CloudFlare server ), don't notice too much about it.

Lowyat IPv6 are special tweaked to Malaysia CloudFlare JB server, so far not notify anything, unless you are under IPv4 la.

Tonight hkix overloaded, first time saw this happen, guess TM start moving too much traffic to HK...
---
Look like Tencent SG back to China Mainland also bombed, keep kicking people out.

Pls check did you getting kicked to Private IP, me is slowing down after getting kicked to Private IP.
Even the IPv6 is public, also slow down to hell, they messed up the QoS, why?

I am finding CS now, then he help me on reset port, after reset, everything on full speed, including IPv6, then drop back after QoS work normally, lol.
