Some services like Youtube, Gmail and even play store sometimes don't work or make you wait a long time. All these services work fine on my other connection(Excitel). Just want to know if it's just me or others have faced similar issues.
 
I am not facing any such issues. In fact, Google services are even faster than any other services for me(like Steam, Netflix, OneDrive etc). Double check your DNS and make sure that no firewall is blocking Google services.
 
Figured it out, it was dnscrypt-proxy2 filter that's enabled by default for some reason on OpenWrt. This config parameter is uncommented by default, #blocked_names_file = 'blocked-names.txt'.
 
Issue still remains on my Tv Box, unable to check for updates, play videos on youtube.
 
Disabled firewall and attack protection on the ONU, will wait and observe to see if that changed anything.
 
So, these issues are because of Ipv6, disabled that and everything works fine on all devices. Will need to investigate why it causes such issues.

Edit: Maybe related to prefix lengths being same on LAN & WAN interfaces, changed for LAN from /64 to /60 and everything seems to work well now but will need to observe.
