Even simple health checks are taking 1 second~ . Not sure if this is something that happens on the hobby plan? If yes, then kinda sucks that i'm being forced into paying higher without actually being able to properly evaluated the product.

here are my network diagnostics

Based on the diagnostics you posted, this does not appear to be a Railway performance issue.

Your ping results show very large jitter:

~40 ms → ~900 ms → ~40 ms → ~950 ms

If Railway were slow, latency would be consistently high. Instead the connection alternates between normal and extremely slow responses, which usually indicates network congestion between your ISP and the destination.

Your traceroute also shows a spike inside the Comcast backbone:

be-34922-cs02.dallas.tx.ibone.comcast.net

1122 ms

This suggests the delay is happening on the ISP routing path before reaching Railway's edge.

Another clue is the DNS lookup timing:

system DNS ≈ 1091 ms

Cloudflare DNS ≈ 90 ms

which indicates the local resolver is also slow.

You may want to test from another network or region (for example using a cloud VM or online latency tester) to confirm. The Hobby plan itself should not introduce a consistent 1s delay for simple health checks.
