I, switched from Google FI because of lack of customer support and services that were getting less and less, but more costly and costly. I went to T-Mobile. Good service, much the same as Google fi is a first party mvno. Anyway I use a private dns. NextDns. T-Mobile had no clue what a dns was and the super had to Google it. They SEVERELY THROTTLE if you use next dns.

I HATE THAT. What do you use as privacy conscious individuals?

edit: not that! What

I use Tailscale on TMobile that connects to my home network as an exitnode, which allows me to use the DNS configured in my home router.

That sounds ideal, but I don't currently have the resources to set up a home network. :⁠-⁠\

No reason it has to literally live 'at home' - you could just as easily use a VPS via LowEndBox for five or six bucks a month, though of course trust in providers varies widely.
