Well on dslreports its common knowledge that Bell Sympatico's (my ISP) DNS servers are horrible.
I have tested using OpenDNS and my ISP's DNS servers and saw no difference at all in speed or routing times.
I can imagine that some people may see a diference though depending on how their connection is routed.
But where does that point from there X?
Been using Opendns a few weeks and haven't really noticed if it is faster or slower although I did make the change once Neowin had moved servers - looks like Pipex is particularly slow!
i dont know if its me but since using open dns my internal network names no longer works i have to type the ip manually
