See part 1 for a more detailed description of the problem I am experiencing with my internet connection. Results Let’s get straight to the results of my download speed measurements. The measurement script, raw data and visualization source code can be found in this github repo. The following graphs present what I’ve measured by downloading a mp4 from reddit and a video snippet from ard (hosted on akamai I believe).

Over the last few weeks I have noticed slow loading times with websites like reddit and imgur especially in the evening. While I have no issues streaming HD videos from some sites, e.g. youtube, some reddit images and gifs take multiple seconds to load. After excluding some other potential problem sources I came to the conclusion that this must be connected to the ISPs peering policies and situation. I have found multiple posts of others who apparently have these problems.
