Here’s what happened: recently the FOR location was activated, with that I switched to 1.1.1.1 since I live on the same city and my ISP’s DNS is a bit… Unreliable. Then I started noticing huge slowdowns on Google services like Search, Photos and Drive.
I didn’t use Google’s or Cloudflare’s DNS because the closest location is/was GRU; which is 50ms away, and sometimes Google’s can be as high as 70.
Here’s some data:
