anc rerouted for over six months
anchorage datacenter has been rerouted to Seattle (1000mi away) for over 6 months. As a user of the CF DNS and a user of the internet, please fix the ANC stuff. Pretty sure it doesn’t take 6 months to fix something

1000 miles away
:NotLikeThis:
I get it that the network is large, but rerouting to 1000mi away
For over 6 months
Would love a good answer ^^ !
:bibicat:
im not an employee, however I am unsure if you're going to get help here on this, im sure the team is aware as the status page reflects status, it is such a small pop it may not be top priority
Ok, but rerouting to Seattle?? Why not Vancouver or something closer
that much depends on a variety of factors including your own isp's backbone and peering arrangements

its up..
is this real
still depends, may not be ready to serve traffic
just because the unicast address pings it still may not have the anycast ips that serve websites routed towards it
Not really I ran a trace route and the GCI (Network Provider) is alive
are there anycast ips announced from the pop?
(you wont be able to know unless you peer with cf)
Idk
I saw some he.net stuff
Maybe
The thing is please stop being lazy cloudflare I want my 10ms back 💔
Which employee rerouted ANC and forgot about it!!
been more than 8 months
idk what type of bomb dropped on the data center
In 8 months you could’ve opened 90 more data centers
anc is not a big market :bingShrug:
anc serves as a data center for other locations too
Not only anchorage uses the anchorage data center
from what i can see there are no active metals in anchorage
that may be why its rerouted
i mean the metal probably exists physically, but none serving traffic
never 😆
my traceroute tool can't even see anchorage

nono, like ent traceoute api
traceroute from cf to you
https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/diagnostics/subresources/traceroutes/methods/create/
Cloudflare API | Diagnostics › Traceroutes › Traceroute
Interact with Cloudflare's products and services via the Cloudflare API
enterprise acc feature only sadly
oh yeah
i had a friend make me a dash to interface with it
yeah
i got tired of that though
nope 😦

We alaska residents don’t exist
Is Alaska even real??!
I’m pissed of ANC being rerouted because GCI’s DNS has worse uptime than my microwave
where is your nearest 8.8.8.8 pop?
Seattle too probably
ah rip, guess thats the nature of most alaskan traffic
(and flights :kek: )
lol
I have 1gbps internet speeds for a 2.5gbps plan
That costs 200$ btw
Not even fiber
yeah if it makes you feel better, im in the mainland and im stuck on docsis too
This is a lie this is a lie this is a lie

What kind of information is the TV sending to Jeff Bezos
What does the TV need 766gb for
I have 3 GCI provider extenders
And I don’t need them
I like the software of the WiFi tho
Apart from it blocking every single website of the internet one time that I had to deactivate security
💔
im stuck on comcast but I removed all of their equipment from my place, using vyos as a router now
I lived in Florida before and had Spectrum
Apparently now Spectrum’s parent company is buying GCI
I can’t escape Charter communications even when I am 5000mi away
😭
you went from florida to alaska by... choice?
Maybe
Is cloudflare in your walls

Better job opportunities most of the time
And it’s cheaper
I have 50ms!
I had to switch to GCI dns which sucks so okay
from my house im not much better (wifi)

209.165.131.8
GCI’s DNS
speed of light is my biggest opp

Alaska is a central location
When are data center providers coming here
💔
it would be a great datacenter market if actual people outnumbered the polar bears
😭 😭
And hoping for the polar bears not to eat the GCI servers
i would flex further with .3ms but i left that job
our rack was in the same row as a cf rack at the dc
GCI commercials are movies
What is GCI’s AD team even about
GCIAK
YouTube
GCI | iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro, forged in titanium. It's epic. Get one on us with trade-in, on Alaska's most advanced network.
They do NOT have network there
im at 111 8th ave in NYC monthly for work and a few rows away is a cf rack, i always spend some time looking at it hehe
also seen a few Hurricane Electric racks, but they have stickers on the outside telling you its HE
Sorry, Cutie Pie!

🤣
are they LTE/5g too? interesting you dont have more competition there
megaport has such messy racks
in nyc atleast
i dislike remote peering so i dislike megaport
They have an amazing 5g network
I’m talking 200mbps in your house
oh thats pretty cool
and partnership with T mobile
T mobile customers connect to GCI in Alaska and GCI customers connect to T mobile outside Alaska
Pretty cool tbh
However I still use AT&T because hell yeah
im a tmo cust, been since they were the only of the "big 4" to do unlimited data
when at&t charged $15/GB of overage
yeah, ive worked some with equinix fabric which is similar if not a carbon copy, its great for the quick connectivity, but cheaper in long run to plan out and expand without mp
(equinix fabric has the added benefit of not having to pay for xc, just the product itself)
Only think left is for GCI to provide ipv6 for residential customers
let me take some numbers to dms with u i want to compare
I'm going to start to send this every day in this thread

welp!
It’s that time


Polar bears DO need cloudflare
DOs wouldn't exist in ANC anyways, way too small of a site
my brain is too orange sorry


Some day


technically, i didn't forget.

💔
