Too bad about that, looks like I'm going to have to rethink my setup of having them cache my site on their edge.
In my experience, sites on Enterprise plan are always loading from the closest node, which is never used by sites on Free plan.
I see mixed results with Cloudflare (pro plan): Sometimes the load times are as low as 50ms, the other times as high as 250ms; both for multiple hours on end, even when I am connecting to the same co-location.
I gave AWS Cloudfront a try as well, and to my surprise their load times held consistently at less than 40ms throughout. It is another thing that, quite unfortunately, for my workloads, Cloudfront turns out to be very expensive.
My 1.1.1.1 time is 20ms (Romania).

That’s almost assuredly a sign of radio congestion on the channel you are on causing retransmits. It could also be a poor quality AP or you could have to many clients on your AP, but most likely it’s the first one (in band interference causing lots of retransmits) based on experience.
