the above dns tend to be quicker and will allow you to access the web whereas the be problem is affecting various websites coming up with page cannot be displayed etc etc.

I changed my dns last night and it is now running sweet again and a heck of a lot quicker

I added in the 53 address last night too. Getting a bit fed up with these DNS issues now, seems to be getting more frequent.

moved over to OpenDNS when the last lot of DNS problems happened.

Never moved back and never experianced the same issues

Its free and reliable and configurable ... so all pros and no cons really for me.
