Post #336,757 by Another Scott 12/5/10 10:22:59 PM Reply	I've been using DNSAdvantage for a few months. It seems much, much faster than my cable provider's (Cox). I changed during the summer, I think, when it often seemed to be taking several seconds for each name resolution. Dunno if there are any issues in using such a service, but I figure I'm such a small-fry that it's not much to worry about. At least so far... I just noticed that Google has a free public DNS as well - http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ Cheers, Scott.

Or maybe they were thinking "Meh - the knowledgeable will use them and stop bothering us". :-/ Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.

The only other one I can remember is AT&T (former SBC (formerly PacBell)) 206.13.29.12 and 30.12 simply because I've used them for so many years. All these give pretty good response.

Given sufficient thrust, even pigs can fly. You just don't want to be around when they come back down.
