blog.opendns.com — Verizon drops 3.14% of all DSL subscribers? DNS requests! CNET just rehashed a report that Nominum commissioned to look at the speed and reliability of ISP DNS servers. The verdict won?t shock any of you: ISPs are pretty bad at providing DNS!

damn, I suck at writing little bits of information, but it should give you a idea of how it works.

Just use these as backups4.2.2.14.2.2.24.2.2.34.2.2.4Not sure whose they are, but I've used them for years and they always work.

Well gee, you could always try it out. I know it's several numbers to type, and that's a lot of work. But with our support I think you can overcome.

Hi have to admit, I knew next to nothing about DNS before reading this article, but following the directions in the article and switching to Open has turned my PowerBook with Safari (and other browsers I'm assuming) using Verizon DSL from slower than dial-up into a speed demon!I can't get over the speed difference!!!

There is nothing inherently faster about it. A bunch of distributed resolvers. check your RTT to the hosts near you and that will tell you if it is worth it *for*you*. Only idiots who don't understand that proximity matters will give you the blanket "it is better" response.
