We had edge delivery issues when I didn't use my ISP's DNS, especially from Apple. Not exactly sure of the mechanism, but downloading Xcode would take 2 hours instead of 10 minutes.

That’s really weird that’s the case. DNS simply resolves “google.com” to an IP address (8.8.8.8 or something). Shouldn’t impact anything download related. I’m pretty sure DNS isn’t used for geolocating either
