Wetransfer වගේ sites වෙන CDN / peering path එකක් use කරන නිසා ඒකේ speed හොඳයි. SLT-ට මේ වෙලාවේ peering arrangements තියෙන්නේ providers 13ක් වටා පමණක්, Starlink නම් providers 500+ ට වැඩි direct peering තියෙනවා. ඒ නිසා Starlink traffic routes බොහොම කෙටි, congested link වලට අඩු chance තියෙනවා."   peering info <a href="https://www.peeringdb.com/org/4532" target="_blank">https://www.peeringdb.com/org/4532</a><hr />ඔව්, Google Drive, OneDrive දෙකම slow වෙලා තියෙනවා නම් almost confirm වෙන්නෙ SLT-ගේ international routing / peering side issue එකක් කියලා. මේ services දෙකම large cloud networks (Google AS15169 / Microsoft AS8075) වලින් serve වෙනවා. SLT එකේ direct peering හොඳින් configure කරලා නැත්නම් හෝ ඒ link වල capacity අඩු නම්, traffic එක long route එකක් හරහා යන නිසා latency වැඩි වෙලා speed drop වෙනවා.අපේ data packages වලින් සල්ලි ගෙවුවත්, ISP-ගේ peering quality හොඳ නැත්නම් මේ effect වෙනවා.
