if your path is brisbane -> sydney (and onwards), and you’re not 
hitting the quad9 nodes in sydney, like, at least, one other person 
here, then it’s likely that you (if it’s your network,) or your 
provider aren’t seeing, or acting on, the route adverts in syd (or 
per, or..).   since debugging sub-optimal peering is decidedly outside 
the scope of dns-ops, i’ll ping you off-list to debug more.
