OpenDNS

I use Comcast as my home ISP for at least eight years. They offer fast bandwidth, but Comcast's DNS services are poor and slow. Last month I was getting tired of waiting for web site request in Firefox browser to resolve. I started to look for alternatives like AT&T DSL, but accidentally noticed OpenDNS free DNS resolution service. It took a few minutes to go through OpenDSN instructions and replace existing Comcast DNS servers with two recursive nameserver addresses 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 from OpenDNS on my Linksys WRT54GS router. I have been using OpenDNS for almost a week now and I can inform you that there are real speed improvements.
