Interestingly routing issues didn’t spare one of top CDN provider - Akamai! So what’s wrong? (from my BSNL connection): PING akamai.com (61.213.189.49) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 61.213.189.49: icmp_req=1 ttl=52 time=492 ms 64 bytes from 61.213.189.49: icmp_req=2 ttl=52 time=492 ms 64 bytes from 61.213.189.49: icmp_req=3 ttl=52 time=474 ms 64 bytes from 61.213.189.49: icmp_req=4 ttl=51 time=492 ms 64 bytes from 61.213.189.49: icmp_req=5 ttl=51 time=489 ms \--- akamai.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 22236ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 474.
