Terrible performance on reddit

Hello,

Within the last few days I've noticed reddit posts are loading very slowly. This applies mainly to images and videos, with some images taking between 4 - 20 seconds to load.

I have a 900mb package which has been working flawlessly up until now.

After connecting to my work VPN, Reddit performs just fine - likewise if I switch to my mobile data, everthing is fine which makes me think something is going on between BT and reddit.  This issue is on all devices irrespective if connected by wifi or wired.

I haven't noticed issues with any other sites, HD youtube videos are loading fine. Speedtest results seem fine, latency seems fine.

Is there some sort of caching at BTs end that might be broken?

This seems to be intermittent, working fine one moment and then not the next. As an example see the curl response times for a single pixel image below:

curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o NUL -s https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png
time_namelookup: 0.002996s
time_connect: 21.053832s
time_appconnect: 21.151355s
time_pretransfer: 21.151395s
time_redirect: 0.000000s
time_starttransfer: 21.167338s
----------
time_total: 21.214386s

Any idea how I can verify if this is at my ends or BTs?

Thanks
