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?

Couldn't you just use a VPN? Hiding your IP address also increases your privacy. Mullvad VPN is one of the best, most private and trustworthy VPNs, and it's just 5 bucks a month. You don't even need an email address to sign up, and you can pay anonymously with crypto.
