DNS Landscape in Mexico
Mexico's internet market is dominated by Telmex (Infinitum), Izzi, Totalplay, and Megacable. Internet penetration has grown steadily, and fiber is available in major cities. However, DNS peering is limited and ISP-provided DNS can be inconsistent. Telmex DNS in particular is known for reliability issues during peak hours.
Google has strong infrastructure in Mexico with local data centers. Cloudflare also has PoPs in the country. Both are great options for Mexican users looking to improve browsing speeds.
