Fastly CDN is extremely slow on JioFiber

@DentXXX It is using Akamai CDN right now for me, so loading fast here too.

Valve says if ISP won't do anything, just post the issue with reply from Fastly in Suggestions / Ideas

As "devs regularly read it"

@DentXXX I have wrote feedback to Steam support and they mentioned that they forwarded it to the appropriate department. Considering it is Steam, I have high hopes for them, even though this usually means "not gonna do anything".

I might post about it there as well, if they revert back to Fastly CDN for me.

You can change regions, or if you are using your own DNS, then rewrite records to non-Fastly servers for relevant domains with *.steamserver.net & *.valve.net. However, for this you'd need to check the domains your client makes.

@Lolita_Magnum You mean download server change, or something else?

And I am not using my own DNS. I am just disappointed at Jio for messing up like this. Just using WARP for temporary workaround.

Yes, the thing you find in Steam > Settings > Downloads > Download Region.

@Lolita_Magnum Download speeds are fine. We get local servers there after all.

It is about the page loading time. It takes multiple minutes to load the homepage of Steam whenever their site is using Fastly.

This could be temporary, but Imgur is now loading images/videos from Fastly US servers, and even though the ping is much higher, their website is loading instantly now.

As for Steam, it is using Akamai CDN for me, so it is also fast now.
