HELP!! I thought it was AT&T's DNS servers being slow so I've already put in DNS servers from OpenDNS, CloudFlare, and Google.

What else can I do? Is it something on MS' end?

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Try setting your DNS to cloudflare, both ipv4 and ipv6 [URL="https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setting-up-1.1.1.1/"]Setting Up 1.1.1.1 - Cloudflare Resolver[/URL]

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Try pinging MS and tell me what your PING times are? Presume you have done all the usual? Clear cookies, cache, history etc?

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Are you still in the US? Ping is a little high.

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Yeah exactly, I'm in the US :lol:

Is it a DNS server issue? This happened after I switched to AT&T. I was on Comcast and Sonic in the past.

I can't even complete a traceroute!

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

it might be, are you on Windows or a MAC? If it's Windows, run this command at a dos prompt

ipconfig /flushdns

Try set the DNS to Open DNS servers and then try again. If you are using a Wifi Router, then set the DNS at the router level as well.

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Ok I did all that plus added Cloudflare and Google's DNS servers.

Ping times are still the same.

I did nslookup from the CLI and also from Mac's Network Utulity's Lookup function:

[QUOTE]Lookup has started…

mercuryserver.com -> 74.50.122.47[/QUOTE]

So that seems fine too?

But the traceroute looks bad:

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Jesus 64 hops from within the US? Are you sitting in the desert in Nevada?

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Yeah I don't get it, fucking AT&T.

Their fiber speeds are really good though, better than the Sonic I had previously. 300mbps but speed tests rate it at 400+ and even on my phone's wifi it's rating in the high 200s.

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

I have AT&T fiber too - and some sites for whatever reason load very slowly too... it's supposed to be 500 up 500 down approx...But not with MS, it runs fast.

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

That's rather odd and random. How much are you paying for the 500? I'm not sure if I had a 500 option when I looked it up, odd. My 300 is around $60 ($50 for plan, $10 for the shitty mandatory modem rental), more expensive than Sonic but speeds have been fast and consistent.

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Actual speed is about 300 up and 300 down. They advertised 1 gig speed though. Who knows. It was $10 more per month to get and before that we were running like 20 up and 20 down :lol:

That's part of why my avatar is dancing I think :lol:

Re: HELP!!!! AT&T Fiber is loading MS very slowly

Hang on, you subscribed to a 1 gbps plan and is only getting 300 up and down??
