[QUOTE="blackice, post: 987821, member: 79035"] They also use anonymized EDNS Client Subnet optionally (though I haven't seen a lot of benefit from it). Almost all DNS are anycast these days. It does not prevent the issue I have mentioned. Using Cloudflare and Quad9 I get routed across the country in spite of Anycast. NextDNS has a very close server to me, so it is more reliable for this. However sometimes my ISP routes me to a different server. In the case of Quad9 there are closer datacenters to me, but my ISP routes me to a much farther location. It doesn't make a huge difference other than slightly slower buffering on video. DNS is a bit more complicated than ping and anycast. For most people the difference is negligible, however there are cases where suboptimal routing happens. Edit: A good example of this is ControlD. Their answer to 'speed' is "we use anycast!", but I continually get very slow routing when using ControlD. [/QUOTE]
