I have tried it and there is an iimprovement in the speed .. thanks

One modification I'd make to their recommendations, use your existing DNS address as the secondary. That way, if something goes south at the OpenDNS site, you still have your old standby.

[Blackmirror]

lol which was before i changed it

[JohnWill]

If you have a router, all you have to do is use the router's base address.

[Blackmirror]

Ok John thanks .

. panicked for a minute then

[Chris708]

Didn't notice that big of an increase. It's pretty good though.

I've fooled around with all sorts of public IP addresses when Comcast was having DNS issues in the past. So far, other than a tree falling on the fiber up the street, Verizon FiOS has been flawless, and I haven't needed to tinker around.

[ferrija1]

Verizon's DNS is one of the best, I tried OpenDNS once and it seemed almost like it was a little slower, so I switched back.

Already using OpenDNS. Works Great.

[CTPhil]

Going with OpenDNS seemed to speed things up for me, thanks for the tip!

[Vanqu1sh]

I am sad...this didnt work for me! I put in the DNS for primary and secondary, restarted and nothing is it possibly because I am on dial up?

[JohnWill]

Could be, hard to know. Unless you're having issues, I'd stick to your ISP supplied DNS servers.

[lotuseclat79]

Hi Vanqu1sh,

Every time you connect with dialup, the DNS servers are refreshed by the ISP if you are using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) which reassigns you another IP address, and resets your DNS servers.
