If you've read Simon's announcement here (http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,3593.msg52691.html#msg52691) you'll know that IDNet have beefed up their DNS servers.
Having done some 'testing' (more strictly observation :)), I can confirm that the new servers seem to be faster than OpenDNS for me.
Just to confirm for everyone, will this be a transparent change or do we need to do anything to benefit from these new DNS Servers?
Rob
It's totally transparent, Rob. Just sit back and enjoy. :)
Morning all, I certainly have noticed the extra zip, well done IDNet.
That's good to hear, thanks Gary. :)
Excellent.. I just started using OpenDNS servers last week and did notice an improvement which I mentioned on the TBB Forums (http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=idnet&Number=3112011&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=0&fpart=) but after the IDNet upgrade over the weekend I think I will revert back to IDNet DNS servers and give them a go :)

Welcome to the forum, have a karma. :)
I switched back this morning, and it looks a bit snappier than OpenDNS to me so far.

My sentiments entirely, Gary. ;D
Ok,
Can one of you just explain to me how this better re pings etc, I am somewhat confused.
Will it improve the my pings to east coast USA servers by lopping off time this side of the pond ?
ReD
MAABOF
This shouldn't affect pings, ReD. What it should do is reduce the time taken from changing the www.websitename.com to a IP address, which is what the servers know and undersand. Basically, it should mke surfing that little bit quicker!
Tried the Open servers, changed back to Idnet servers and find them (idnet) a bit snappier . Another weekend of work for SImon, Tim and company. Do they never rest? ;D
No, Alf, we don't stop nagging them. :) >:D

Let me put it this way, the dufus, which does the clever stuff whenever you type a URL, has been given a course of steroids and is now much faster. :)

My pleasure. :)
I love the technical side you display Rik :D
