Which ISPs are so bad that you want to use external services, which are further in distance than your ISP, for speed? When I test with my ISP, they beat all of these services (both IPv4 and IPv6). They're simply closer to me in terms of hops. My router is another story though. The Fritzbox (>200eur router) adds 6ms of latency, and that's what is advertised over DHCP. (Might still be fine, since cached queries are fas…

The ones that cooperate with state-sanctioned censorship? Malaysia blocks anti-government news sites via ISP DNS entries; using a 3rd party DNS bypasses the block easily. Accusing government officials of mismanagement or outright theft of public funds is an easy way to get your domain black holed over here. That, piracy, and porn. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the latter two were thrown in solely to make the prog…

It’s best to just pretend those DNS things are a good way for bureaucrats to achieve whatever it is because they’re so easy to circumvent and the alternative is far worse.

In the U.S., many of them are mining and selling our data. Getting off of their DNS service is one step in mitigating this. Also, as others mention, they can and do monkey with the results. In other words, here, your ISP is in part a hostile entity. At least, in my perception -- and I'm not alone. P.S. Of course, there's the argument against giving Google all your DNS usage, as well... I use a different DNS service f…

They can (do) mine it even if you use Google or Cloudflare or whatever since DNS is trivial to intercept.
