    As the owner of a Cybersecurity Services Provider, moving to Cloudflare has more benefits than just speed. If one uses the provider's DNS server, the presented search results can be manipulated due to ad purchase and control by the provider. This is a big part of their revenue stream. Be careful with DNS over HTTPS until the security of it matures.

    One quick note, to save people from some headaches. These changes are better made on your router instead of your phone or computer. That way when you go to work or the coffee shop with your phone or computer you won't break things like login portals or intranet services.

      As Squip stated, you won't really see a difference in how long a large download takes. However, where you will really see a speed boost is in web browsing, as pages will start loading faster. As there is usually very little data transferred, most the wait time is in the initialization, which a faster DNS will mitigate perfectly.

Many companies, that is to say pretty much ANY company on the internet, either buy or sell users data when a service is free(or even paid). It's not even hidden or denied by companies. This isn't a charity service and Cloudflare isn't a charity org. As for this being some sort of advertisement, completely ludicrous statement considering Cloudflare's main customers are large businesses, not end users. This is an end user service.

    Surprising that my hometown Montgomery got this, I tried it and didn't get 10ms response time, but it was the fastest out of all the DNS servers on the benchmark. I'm really surprised and happy about this.

      Parker Stephens everywhere its the fastest. DNS servers are setup everywhere, unlike ISPs. I live in Nowhere, Wisconsin and I get 15ms latency which is a lot better than the 50 I got by using default gateways, compared to having this 20mbps Internet vs Pittsburgh having Verizon FioS
