Millions of people in the US can't change their ISP. I live in a major city and would have to drop my speed by 90% if I switched to my other option. I have two options total.

Doesn't T-Mobile US offer home internet over 4G and 5G in most of the US now?

I've actually been using tethering for home internet, and it's often faster and cheaper than landline alternatives. Easily get 100Mbps in my location over 4G LTE on an old phone.

T-Mobile US is a funny example since they have been caught intercepting traffic for other DNS resolvers and silently responding with their own.

I don't think I could make do with less than 1 Gb/s (currently gave 1.3).

I have a ton of home automation, a few HD cameras, and household members who stream video (or play games) basically 24/7.

Aren't you a big enough player to have your own recursive DNS, then?

Plus, if you get so much bandwidth from your provider, are they really still messing about with your DNS?
