Hello for all the members and for all the Teams at Fastly,  
I am an indirect user of the Fastly CDN network, and I am located in Portugal.

I have noticed that when I need to download something from Fastly’s network (such as Epic Games), the speeds are inconsistent and appear to be limited.

As far as I know, I am using the LIS (Lisbon) Servers, because of the latency I have for one of the endpoints:

```auto
Tracing route to dualstack.reddit.map.fastly.net [151.101.1.140]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.0.0.1
  2 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms 78.130.32.1.rev.optimus.pt [78.130.32.1]
  3 * * * Request timed out.
  4 * * * Request timed out.
  5 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 151.101.1.140

```

The speed I get using Fastly’s Debug website is 127.66 Mbps, which is not too slow, but not the full potential that my ISP can offer (NOS Comunicações, 1Gbps/400Mbps contract, consistent speed even for international routes).

I can also replicate this issue with Vodafone, having a symmetric 1 Gbps contract. I can’t test Altice/MEO service because I don’t have one installed at home, only NOS and Vodafone.

I think NOS peers with Fastly using DECIX Lisbon, and Vodafone peers using GigaPIX.
