I've been running on opendns for quite a while now. Initially when google announced its public DNS, I adopted it and found some quirks with some of my commonly used websites. They would randomly become inaccessible. So, I went back to the trusted opendns. This was almost 4 months ago. I thought its time to do a test of which DNS service is the fastest. (More than anything, I like to shake things up in my computer every now and then :D)
I found this tool on google code - namebench.
I ran the tool with the parameters as seen above and here are the results. I must say I did not expect this kind of a result.
