What happened to anexia/edis-PMO servers?

My browsing experience have been a bit sluggish recently and checking the dns servers I found out those 2 PMO servers are not listed anymore on ping.nextdns.io

anexia-MIL is the best one now, but PMO server have been always way better for me.

Any particular reasons why the 2 PMO servers have been taken down? 

It's a temporary or definitive change?

I don't want to install again pihole on my Pi4 :(

      Here's my log

      Usually PMO servers had  10ms less latency on average compared to MIL

      I know this difference is "minimal" and shouldn't be perceivable, bust trust me when I say I discovered the missing servers because my browsing experience wasn't the same as before

      Maybe other factors are in play too:

      - more distance to cover (PMO <100km, MIL>1500km) = more hops to reach the servers = more chances to get stuck somewhere

      - more load/traffic on the specific server

      Are PMO servers gone forever? this is my biggest concern :(

    I was very happy to use nextdns because of those two PMO servers... now that they're gone I'm not happy anymore.

    Yesterday I decided to turn on my Raspberry and setup  my personal config: 

    Unbound (recursive dns) + Redis (for cache persistence) + Pihole (adblock and black/whitelisting)

    I will check again in the future in case you decide to bring back PMO servers, but now I'm a bit sad because I feel I have better solutions to try out.
