Degraded routing on free plan?
Yeah, it is just a normal proxied origin. When I test now with the Pro plan, as you can see above, things settled down and requests are served consistently by FRA (every 50th request or so it's served by HKG, which is strange, but it seems more to be a corner case). The "crazy" behavior of the free plan can still be observed on another domain that we have at Cloudflare. On it the crazy data center switch is still happening. And it's not only my local ISP, it happens also on our servers, which have a completely different ISP.

Degraded routing on free plan?
I'm also wondering why data centers on the other side of the world like HKG and SIN jumped in, instead of nearer data centers in Europe. I don't believe that no nearer data center was available to serve the requests, but of course it's a blackbox.

Degraded routing on free plan?
Thanks for that. Is Traffic Manager something new (since the blog post is also just 1 week old)? We didn't experience such behavior before, I mean >90% of the traffic from free plan has been served by some data center != FRA.
