I suppose you are outside "sovereign network" :)

My home ISP isn't affected but my mobile operator is.

I didn't notice any "slowdown" either. I never used their standard insecure DNS, that they tried to "slow down", as far as I got it.

You don't use Twitter I suppose :) Also it mostly affected mobile connections and some conventional ISPs.

But no, it isn't about DNS. Likely it is traffic shaping triggered by SNI. Although they do spoof DNS requests too.

nope, of course. but I specially opened twitter by Navalny to check. it opened momentally, without any problems.

My ISP also doesn't have this shit.

This is why I am keeping it :) It is small and quite expensive but I prefer to support independent company rather than flock to Rostelecom.

I supported a local independent provider company for years and then it was bought bu Convex, and then Convex was bought by Dom ru. so... this country is not about running business.

I am certain the service didn't get better.

Here some of the bigger ones don't even allow to install your own router anymore.

absolutely. it went terrible, especially the user service side.
I don't think provider's router means anything. you may have your router next to theirs. this does not matter. just two routers in a line is a way nonsense. I don't see any reasons for this stupidity. and there's nothing profitable for provider either.

They are just not flexible. It makes sense for non-techy people as ISP can control their router completely so they can set it up, reboot and such.

But then big ISPs are becoming too set in their ways and just don't allow exceptions. Two routers in a line are nonsense indeed - and also you have to deal with tech support every time you want to change port forwarding or WiFi password.

By the way sometimes their WiFi passwords are not unique so if they leak someone can get into your network and torrent some porn or something like that :)
