There's a free benchmark utility to measure the speeds of various DNS servers available at http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm. Run it & pick the fastest - no muss, no fuss.

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? -- John D.
