There is more to latency than distance. Server response time is also important. In my case, the problem was that the DNS forwarder in the local wifi access point/router was very slow, even though the ICMP latency from my laptop to that device is obviously low.
- dylan604 1y agowhich is well and fine, but my original comment was that moving to a closer DNS isn't worth it just for being closer especially when it is usually your ISP's server. so now, you're confirming that just moving closer isn't the solve, so it just reassures that not using the closest DNS is just fine.
