And how does this affect bandwidth, again?

Net Neutrality was repealed in the U.S. in 2017. ISPs including your mobile phone carrier are allowed to throttle your bandwidth based on the sites you visit. When you use a VPN an tunnel your DNS through it to servers not operated by your ISP, they don’t know which sites you’re visiting, so any automated throttling would not happen.

Routing. Back in the day, Charter customers experienced horrible download speeds using Charter’s DNS servers. Switching to Google’s would result in far more reliable network speeds. Tell me you’re a dickhead without telling me you’re a dickhead.
