OpenDNS: SpeedUp Your Internet Connection

ZZ481B1910.jpgI have just switched to OpenDNS at home and yes! Their DNS is really fast!!! Big change from Pacbell AT&T dinosaurs. I have not yet gone through all the functionalities that are literraly offered, but I could instantaneously feel a gain in speed. Well I am close to one of their centers here in Palo Alto too. Definitely something to try, and very easy to implement.
