Every so often my GMail (Chrome/FF) fails to refresh.
Did some sleuthing and figured out that DNS name resolution is failing.
So now whenever I see a sluggish performance I run the following alias
and lo behold I get the output shown below.

$ alias chk_pub_dns='for dig in 8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1 9.9.9.9; do dig
@${dig} cloudflare.com; done'

(Resolvers in my /etc/resolv.conf 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, and 9.9.9.9}

$ chk_pub_dns
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: connection refused
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: timed out
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: connection refused

Do you see similar issues with your broadband provider?
Please share your experience; I am trying to figure out an ISP that
does not have this issue a priori (to switch my ISP).
