It is incredibly annoying to be connected to a rather fast pipe yet

to travel on what feels like 56k connection to get to where I can
benefit from it.

With help from my Devuan friends the connection times have improved
significantly. After  little poking around and a very interesting talk
with my ISP, I decided that the ISP's DNS resolver was contributing
significantly to the slow connection times. A suggestion from a Devuan
ninja, encouraged me install unbound. I was instructed to put the IP in

/etc/resolv.conf and to enable the prepend (I can't remember exactly
where).  Now my connection times are mostly pretty snappy.

This has been an interesting, informative thread and I appreciate
everyone who shared their thoughts.

Till next time,

Hi,

By the way,
that means that was not some
No-Net-Neutrality's effect
if I understand correctly.


Can't say for sure. Wouldn't Comcast/Spectrum/RoadRunner(TWC) be able to throttle traffic more effectively using their in-house DNS service? Maybe unbound escapes their reach? Just speculating here because as everyone has gathered, I am pretty clueless about the finer points of networking.

I had no idea when I started this thread that it would turn into such an informative monster. The collective wealth of knowledge on this list is stunning. While most of it is way over my head, I have picked up a few things and now have plenty of references if I get whacked again by a network issue. Again, thanks to all.
