A quick look it appears that

Ran some tests and found these DNS entries for my router are faster:

  • 24.93.41.125
  • 209.18.47.62
  • However, they are managed by TimeWarner, and are not very reliable.
    So, maybe I go back to OpenDNS

  • 208.67.222.222
  • 208.67.220.220
  • or
    Google DNS

  • 8.8.8.8
  • 8.8.4.4
