Using ping to compare the two may introduce a skew based on how the two networks prioritize ICMP.
For example, from my network google is averaging a faster response by ~.5ms
$ ping 1.1.1.1
PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

However, if i do DNS lookups against a few major domains, google is actually slower by ~2ms
$ for domain in microsoft.com google.com cloudflare.com facebook.com twitter.com; \
do cloudflare=$(dig @1.1.1.1 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}'); \
google=$(dig @8.8.8.8 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}');\
printf "${domain}:\tcloudflare ${cloudflare}ms\tgoogle ${google}ms\n";\
done
microsoft.com: cloudflare 22ms google 23ms
google.com: cloudflare 19ms google 22ms
cloudflare.com: cloudflare 19ms google 23ms
facebook.com: cloudflare 21ms google 20ms
twitter.com: cloudflare 19ms google 21ms
You'd have to run a bunch of queries to see if there is an actual impact vs. just an outlier (e.g. the first ping response from cloudflare), just wanted to point it out.
