First I wanted to say thank you for setting up Cloudflare DNS. Your service allows me to securely browse an internet as intended by the authors of websites, rather than another created by those that hijack queries and redirect traffic.
Through regular mis-configuration or otherwise, I find myself frequently unable to reach 1.0.0.1 / 1.1.1.1.
Are you able to assist in making this service more reliable for my ISP?
Example traceroute below:

1.1.1.1 is unreliable from Verizon FiOS in Massachusetts hitting EWR. I wouldn’t expect it to ever work well from mainland China, but I’m a bit surprised I’ve had so many issues in the US. At bad times, ~5% of queries will fail; at good times, it’ll be 1-2%. That might not seem like a lot, but it’s enough to be pretty annoying while browsing the web.
