Google, OpenDNS, Cloudflare DNS with Airtel XStream Fiber feels very slow.

@cwaluv You may try using ControlD also. It is a similar service like NextDNS. You can have one month trial.
I am using it for past one year (5 year plan @ $40 total via stacksocial). I have configured it on Adguardhome for devices at home and disabled the adguardhome protection since protection is by ControlD. Also configured on individual devices as they are still protected if they are not on home wifi.
Downside is that they work on pure anycast model unlike NextDNS which steer you to nearest location. ControlD always serves you from nearest anycast location only.
ControlD is hosted in Mumbai / Pune and I get 25ms latency from Delhi which is reasonable.

For me average processing time is 94ms to 300ms with Airtel Xstream Fiber.

It is same here. What I did was to find a mirror IPv4 and IPv6 of DNS and use that. It worked fine.
Thanks for pointing this, I thought it was only for me.
Dear ALL, please DO KNOW that this is not by accident. Using ISP DNS allows them to do all sorts of malpractices like shaping the network traffic (eg. if a customer who comes to DNS and asks for xxxyytorrent.com and he gets the IP 62.42.2.34 -> THEN ANY user who peers to IP 62.42.2.XX will be throttled). This sort of AI and manual rules can be setup.
This is apart from all other issues (like they log what we do, reliance can easily profile you completely - it know what you do (DNS entries), from where (your jio phone app GPS) and how often (our data logs are fully with them along with primary keys like mobile number, pan number).
This DNS Issue shows us this is really happening. Traffic shaping already is well done by Jio, Airtel. They will do more of these - like throttle some sites like youtube, docubay etc.
There should be regulations to ALLOW US to set the DNS. And STOP them from doing all sorts of loopholes (like what you OP is facing)

NextDNS on OpenWRT via their luci-app-nextdns package supports conditional profiles. See here: Conditional Profile
So i can use a different profile for different devices based on their MAC addresses in local network to make sure i remain below their 300k queries per month.
There's also a cool project i found: GitHub - mrrfv/cloudflare-gateway-pihole-scripts: Use Cloudflare Gateway DNS/VPN to block ads, malware and tracking domains - free alternative to NextDNS, Pi-hole and Adguard
This basically turns your cloudflare teams gateway into a pihole with support for upto 300k blocked domains on free account and no limit on DNS queries per month. I use this too as a backup via luci-app-https-dns-proxy on another openwrt.
