Server with best ping not being used

ping.nextdns.io shows that the anycast servers in Atlanta have the lowest ping, but the various servers in Charlotte are always being picked instead even though the ping is higher, sometimes twice the Atlanta servers. Why dont the Atlanta servers get picked? 

 

nexia-atl (IPv6)      9 ms

anexia-atl             9 ms (anycast2)

vultr-atl              9 ms

■ tier-clt                 14 ms  (ultralow2)

hydron-clt (IPv6)     14 ms

tier-clt (IPv6)       15 ms

hydron-clt            18 ms

    Ultralow vs anycast.

    Are you forcing ultralow?  (maybe in iPhone profile, if yes create a new one and don't check ultralow)

    Not that I’m aware.  Trace is not from a phone but from my iMac.  I run the NextDNS cli on my Asus router so all devices use it.

    I am running the latest version on my router.  It’s not an apple thing.  It’s on an Asus router
