Not sure if DNS has anything to do with your upload problems to Google services. Google does not rely on DNS to find the nearest edge.
Afaik, they do inadvertently throttle and average out ~150Mbps unless you use their apps.
I relocated due to work. However now that I am here, I have decided to do part-time studies in a university here.

That's what I thought but it's really not the case, in fact the 150 Mbps throttling is done by their apps.
This may not be Google's fault directly but previously AdGuard DNS used to give like 300-400 Mbps uploads (same as Google and Cloudflare DNS). But after the red sea cable cut the speeds went down to around 80-160 Mbps. Also pings to AdGuard server went from 70-ish to 93-ish.
Do you have any site or anything to check the current repair status of red sea cable cut?
Even the DNS provider I use located in India slowed horribly the day of the cable cut. Hence I moved back to AdGuard on my laptop.
Ohh, alright I get it now. Good to study there, I can say at least that's better there compared to here?

Okay i get it now why my Vi sim loads everything slowly as compared to other services
All this time it was nothing but routing issues
Damn.
ever since a vi cell site came online a few days ago. I’m pretty much getting 50-70mbps on 4G even during peak hours and indoors
But what felt odd is. Even with the higher speed, loading websites felt slow (IBF, MacRumours etc)
now i realise that its just Vi’s routing which makes everything slow.
Oof and Now i also get it why i was highly frustrated when i was in sikkim (which is very hilly terrain) id get 15-20mbps on Vi but everything was painfully slow such as Youtube,Instagram and even google search.
And I was blaming my phone for this
Bruh.

Just look at the pings on Vi (ik its a usually high even with bad routing)
1318 ping.
i was thinking to try VI sim but looks like it'll be delayed for sometime.

In big cities it performs well

To be noted, @unnecessary, your speed test is from a Vi SIM to a Vi server. Any destination that does not use Vi as an upstream or is not directly peered has issues. I don't think this is entirely Vi's fault. If I have to guess, the other big 3 ISPs do not want peer with Vi for free.

Is it just me or Vi Mumbai actually has improved routing than before?
Websites seems to load faster than before to me
