In California, from Xfinity Cable, Google’s DNS consistently has the lowest latency.
From AT&T fiber, Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 is always the fastest, though Quad9 is a very close second.
It’s interesting that it’s different from different ISPs.

Cloudflare probably has a server on AT&Ts network, but not on Xfinity. Google is probably the opposite.
Yup, I get 1-3ms to 1.1.1.1 and 18-20ms to Google from a semi-local fiber provider.
Definitely blew my mind coming from the ~20ms DOCSIS adds.

Of course, these ICMP reply times are apples-to-oranges comparisons. With the proper tooling, you should be able to measure DNS reply latencies.
