For what it's worth, I've been using Level3's DNS servers for a while now, due to the fact that they have insanely low latencies:
4.2.2.1... 4.2.2.6 (or thereabouts). Not sure what Google's going to have on those. Are they gonna be even more super-duper-fast? I mean, if you look at the line-up of the best DNS servers out there, they're pretty damn fast already:

Also, for what it's worth, I've never quite understood why you'd use OpenDNS when level3 have open DNS servers that don't redirect you to their own pages when there's a missing record...

- lanstein 17y agoI believe those are Verizon DNS servers, actually.

- lanstein 17y agoHuh, I thought those were originally GTE's, and that they eventually became Verizon's with all the mergers and name changes. I stand corrected.
- brandon 17y agoNo, you're spot on. 2.2.2.4.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net. Even though the IP space hasn't been SWIP'd to GTE/Verizon, the server(s) behind that IP are evidently theirs.
