This past week, my Comcast internet was really slow. I called Comcast and their tests show that my internet is just fine and that they won’t do anything to fix it. I was pissed but I managed to change a few configurations by running a few network commands in the CMD window which helped me increase my speed.
Now that I’m at a point of attempting to resolve this problem once and for all, I believe that Comcast DNS server might have been under load and caused a lag. I want to switch to an alternative DNS server. I have been looking at a few alternative DNS services such as openDNS and google public DNS. I heard that openDNS offers the fastest speed.
Which one do you guys recommend?
Also for configuration, I understand if I configure DNS to one of the services listed above on my router (e1200), all my devices connected to the router will use that service. Out of curiosity, if one my computers were to be setup for another DNS, say google public DNS while my router is setup for a different service such as openDNS, would my configured computer use google public DNS?
This will be useful to know for testing purposes so I can ping different servers ‘-t’ times.
Thanks
