Has anyone used or is using OpenDNS ? If so has this improved your internet connection in terms of speed and is it worth doing ?

I am using it, it has solved some intermittent issues that I was having - it's probably best to have one PN and one openDNS in your settings in case there is ever an issue with either one.

I use Treewalk which doesn't do substitutions when you don't get the name right.

Treewalk is just another version of the DNS client service in Windows which does exactly the same job though granted it might be more efficient.
Personally I think PN need to look at adding more nodes to their DNS resolver service as I think it struggles to cope a little at times.

Very interesting Barry.
Do you not notice occasional slowdowns?

Opendns does other things besides DNS like it warns of any false sites and you can setup a free account and restrict access to sites for kids etc. I use it as one dns and plusnet as the other so I get the best of both worlds this way if one goes down I carry on as normal
