Short version is to just log into your router and enter these three IPs into the DNS fields:
```
208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222, and 208.67.222.220
```

hmm. good info to know. i'll look more into this

By default your router uses the DNS provided to you by your ISP. It's terrible. Most ISPs have extremely poor quality DNS.

A lot of the lag and other connection issues you may have is likely from bad DNS from your ISP.

jeez. good to know. I'll take what i can get to increase both security and speed

That's why Cisco bought it out, because it was so much better.

clearly XD

Google's own DNS is really just as good, but no one likes to use it because Google will track everything you do.

Businesses don't like that because it makes it too easy for confidential data to be stolen.

obviously.

OpenDNS is a good choice but in my option not the best OpenNIC I think is a lot better

As long as it's not Google DNS.

repizon is a twink

True but if you don't care about privacy of someone watching you (like nearly everyone that uses facebook and that shit) then google is a pretty good choice

That could be suitable for things like game consoles, or other small portable systems.

Or a smartphone

True but to change DNS settings you have to jump through hoops and bonds so most people can't give a fuck even on game consoles

At your home, you just have to do it once. On the router and then everything connected to it will use it.

You only have to set it manually on devices you'll bring somewhere else.

True, but my ISP (for example) made it nearly impossible to change DNS settings on the router they send and I think most ISP will go that way and not many people want to go out and buy a new one if they not going to use it

Little choice with mine. You'll sorely regret not getting your own.

For an ISP they have exceptional service. But nothing's perfect. And their flaw is that everything physical they give you, from hardware to any kind of cable, is of terrible quality.

HDMI cables they give you ***WILL***fail.

Not *might*, they ***will***

So will anything else. Ethernet cables, coaxial cables, modems, routers, cable boxes, remotes, etc.

Yeah I get what your saying but most people are like it just works so what the point

I've never really had anything like that fail on me yet

I opted to get a TIVO from their partnership instead of one of their own cable boxes for that reason.

The modem and router are mine.

All the cables are mine.

Never had a problem with the TiVO like I did with the cable box they had me using before.

I don't know what it is about them that causes all their hardware to be shit.

their service is some of the best in the whole country otherwise.

Money simple as that

They don't want to spend much on you they don't care they just want your money

That's just it. they're insanely dedicated to have high quality, top end service.

They're going to give their entire service area gigabit internet by the end of the year.

At least they say they will.

If they do they'll create the largest gigabit service area in the nation.

Hmm well they spend so much on the lines and shit. I guess they need to make shortcuts somewhere
