Faster DNS = faster Internet!

If you don’t know what “DNS” means, then never mind this article. But if you are familiar with DNS, then you’ll likely appreciate this tip. Google has recently provided a Public DNS service which is often significantly faster than your ISP’s DNS, especially if you’re outside the USA. My own tests verify that it’s a lot faster than using my ISP’s DNS servers. YMMV.

Skip right to the good stuff — use this:

Google Public DNS
Primary DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
