I’m very particular when it comes to internet surfing speed, and I know that DNS plays a big role when it comes to optimizing your internet connection speed.
Since I am on a sometimes-crappy-sometimes-good internet connection which is the Globe Wireless Broadband for more than a year already, I can testify that I have already made a lot of tweaks here and there just to be able to get the full potential speed my internet connection can give me, and one of those is by using personal DNS Values on my ZTE MF600 modem.
Here are the DNS Values that I have already used and what I experienced so far from it:
OpenDNS – 208.67.220.220 & 208.67.222.222 – OpenDNS could have been a great Public DNS Server, its just that sometimes their DNS gets so strict that even “innocent” sites (gaming site, social networking sites) and whatnot are oftentimes blocked.
PrivateDNS – 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2 – I do not have any idea who owns these one, but so far they have been a great DNS Server Values for me. I also use these DNS Values when Im using my PS3 since without manual tweaking, my PS3 won’t let me go online and savor online gaming fun.
DNSadvantage – 156.154.70.1 % 156.154.71.1 – Seldom used these DNS Values since the Private DNS was just enough for me to have a smooth connection. Let me know on the comments if you do have any experiences regarding its connection.
Google Public DNS – 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 – Now comes Google, now serving Public DNS for everyone to use and to take advantage of. Since this is the first time that Im going to use this DNS, I think this has a lot of potential and maybe this DNS could give me much more faster surfing speeds than Private DNS. Who knows… All I know is that once Google has it, its good. Im not saying its the best but its good.
I’ll update my experience regarding the new Google Public DNS after sometime of evaluating it.
