Download speed issue, likely CDN-related

My download speeds are pretty garbage right now, getting around 20-30 KB/s.

Based on the results, I'm pretty sure it's because the CDN that's being assigned to me is one of the USA ones. I don't have premium, can't manually change it, so am I just stuck with this?

It seems that your connection to your nearest CDN node is limited by bad routing. You might want to try using a VPN to see if that helps things?

And now I feel slightly stupid for not trying that earlier.

 

Used a VPN set to Netherlands and my speed's at 500, thanks.
