@AndrewFerguson @comcast Probably not throttling. Probably overloeaded CDN edge on Comcast’s side, wide-open edge on Linode’s.

@AndrewFerguson Maybe netstat and see whether the CDN IPs are different? Betcha they are very different.

@AndrewFerguson Sorry about the delay. Did you still need assistance?

I had a really hard time getting mine to complete successfully. Took four tries. The first attempt was the slowest. (also on Comcast)
