I have been having issues recently not sure when it started but certainly a few weeks ago. The issue is connecting to websites initially, places I visit often can show an apparent delay in contacting the site (including here and many many more). I have a 500Mbps connection on Vodafone which on speed tests shows I am getting the download speeds I expect, however it is not download which is the issue it is the initial connection. I suspected I had a DNS issue so changed my DNS servers (don't use the Vodafone ones) after speed tests using DNSBench but to no avail I still see the delay. One slightly strange thing is that this does not always happen on every access sometimes it is almost instantaneous, also sometimes when working on say a forum I can create a thread and hit submit and it will give a delay again whether or not I had the delay initially and other times it is almost instantaneous!
So anyone any ideas as to why this might be happening?
