I am loving my Edgerouter 4 + Unifi APs. Home network is rock solid. If only I could figure out why my ISP is dropping 20% of packets to Cloudflare DNS.

Not sure about your ISP, but CenturyLink for me seems to have something against 1.1.1.1, but not 1.0.0.1 though.
CenturyLink uses Calix GigaCenter routers which have an embedded http server at 1.1.1.1. Cloudflare calls them out here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/fixing-reachability-to-1-1-1-1-g...
I am on WOW. It seems like the connection to Chicago is the problem and that is where most of my traffic goes (I am in Detroit) but requests to MSP are fine. I notice similar issues when loading images via the ORD datacenter.
Cloudflare has been having some weird issues with Chicago lately. I had to outright ditch them recently and switch to OpenDNS because my internet would just stop working due to their DNS failing.
Huh, that’s a helpful datapoint. I figured it was just WOW customers because we have been having frequent outages recently. I am on Level3 now since after running some benchmarks it appears to be the fastest for me.
