I just got FIOS, and the download speed is great, gaming seems good so
far as well, and using NX to remote desktop is like I'm right at the
machine, very responsive. One problem I'm having is that DNS requests
seem very slow. I click on a link on a webpage and have to wait a
second or two before things start downloading. Makes the whole thing
seem slower. Have any other FIOS users had the problem? Is the
solution OpenDNS? Do you set up OpenDNS on each of your machines or do
you set up a separate machine that you point all your computers to?
Are you sure it's DNS, and not just the router being slow in initiating
a conversation? The routers they give out with the service are pretty
mediocre.
