To add to this:

I have performed 8 OpenBSD Server upgrades today. On all servers, it took me 55
minutes to download base79 (about 500MB). Even if the CDN has to fetch from upstream,
1MBit/s seems highly unlikely. 

Of these 8 servers, 3 were in the same DC and I performed the update sequentially, so
with the assumption that "CDN is literally cache" at least the other two servers
should have been faster.

I was doing sysupgrade -r, so no snapshots, just a normal release update from 7.8 to
7.9.

Same problem yesterday.

I am in Germany if that helps.

Cheers, 

Simon
