Or else You can use this tool, by Steve Gibson. DNS BENCHMARK
I’ve been using this for a long time, it will test various dns providers (they have more than 4000 of them), and best part is the program test all of those for YOUR network and list them from best to not very best,
for me 1.1.1.1 was best one then cisco’s dns then google,
I dont trust google a bit so i wont use it even if its the fastest.
