Lots of slow internet messages causing timeouts

In the last couple of months, there have been many slow internet messages. Because these take up to 30 seconds to clear, timeouts on games set to Fischer time of 5 minutes plus 7 seconds frequently end in a timeout. Correspondence games require one to submit a move twice. This happens when I’m physically located in France or the UK. In the UK I recently upgraded my internet connection to fibre, but still have the same problem. Are the OGS servers overloaded?

For the time being a workaround could be to use Fischer time of 5 minutes plus 37 seconds?

Network does only the delivery data. Neither Google or CF does anything except transmitting. Whatever option is chosen data is still processing by OGS.

I don’t have any information about GCP underlying interconnection. I do not believe that Google own physical cables.

CF is robust and very reliable. CF is set by default. So if you have any connection issues probably changing network will not help.

I’m also experiencing a slow connection to OGS quite frequently lately… The OGS page can’t load so I can’t even go to the setting page lol.

I have been seeing the ‘slow message’ even with the use google or pubic network setting.

seems to have improved a little with new network setting but may be dependent on server loading
