Same experience here. Tweeted at them saying my latency to Hetzner had regressed by 10ms (w/ smokeping graph as proof). They replied the next day saying "we fixed it", and actually improved latency by an extra 5ms from my previous baseline :-)
It's still a magical feeling for me to have a stable 0.8ms latency to 8.8.8.8 (0.7ms if I plug in directly to my media converter without any switching equipment in the way).
- Tepix 8y agoYou may want to switch to 1.1.1.1 instead of letting Google know even more about your surfing habits.
- delroth 8y agoI'm perfectly comfortable sending my DNS traffic to 8.8.8.8. I have a pretty good understanding of how Google handles my DNS data, and I don't have any specific reason to trust Cloudflare better.
- Youden 8y agoI concur with the other reply regarding privacy but I'll add that according to SmokePing, until 5 days ago, CloudFlare took 6ms total to resolve a query, compared to Google at 900 us and Init7 itself at 106 us. Init7 is covered by Switzerland's braindead data-retention bill due to being an ISP so it's out, leaving Google the best acceptable performer for me.
