Virgin Media ISP Routing To Amsterdam #465

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

Hi,

This issue was fixed for a short period of time but has now frustratingly returned.

Same issue as previously stated by AidanGee7 on https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardDNS/issues/416

Please can you fix this issue again? It is only occurring on Virgin Media UK and no other networks or ISP's.

Thanks.

Sorry, there is no fix for this at this moment. Anyway, this route is the fastest for you

VirginMedia is using wide infrastructure provided by LibertyGlobal. They have their own routing rules working for all their european points. At this moment they don't have direct peering with us in London and the real route from you to our London server is long and has higher latency than route to Amsterdam.

We tried to contact them. They sometimes answer us, but in most cases they do nothing.

You can trust me: at this moment Amsterdam is really fastest solution for VirginMedia in UK. The only way is to implement totally blocking rules, so traffic won't come to LibertyGlobal at all, but it will cause unpredictable consequences, they are too big to ignore them

Hi,

Fair point but sadly in the UK the fixed-line internet speeds are awful and Virgin Media is the only ISP that offers decent speeds around my local area.

To add to this, a few days ago I went to my friends house who uses TalkTalk ISP and the anycast location on AdGuard DNS was incorrect on this as well, pointing to Sweden instead of London, on this note I think @D13410N3 and @adguard need to look into this more a global scale rather than just Liberty Global.
