On Ubuntu and Mepis systems I was getting slow internet response using Roadrunner. The name resolution seemed to take nearly a minute. I tried changing the default nameservers and that made a difference. It was faster with the lava.net, hawaiiantel.net and flex.com nameservers, and slower with rr.com and aol.com nameservers. Why is that?
Verizon had that problem, too, and it affected Windows machines. One person mentioned location; I suspect that, like Verizon, the name servers are not up to the traffic. You pay a lot for Lavanet, but it is always fast.
