For this same reason you'll also get better results from CDN services with Google DNS. 8.8.8.8 will lookup a geo record from (almost) your actual location. 80.8

For this same reason you'll also get better results from CDN services with Google DNS. 8.8.8.8 will lookup a geo record from (almost) your actual location. 80.80.80.80 will look it up from the USA.
Any CDNs that are using geo-dns will be way slower than they should be outside the US as you'll have been given a US IP to load the content from.
