Many of us were advocating OpenDNS.<br>

There has been objections to some practices of theirs. I think it was them<br>
hijacking site not found errors and displaying their own ad page instead.<br>
<br>
I use these DNS servers instead in /etc/resolv.conf<br>
<br>
nameserver 4.2.2.5<br>
nameserver 4.2.2.6<br>
<br>
They belong to Level 3 and there are no strings attached.<br>

13 hops away for me, and in U.S. Not that that should matter, but I would have thought closer (and also no strings) would be better. Perhaps with caching it's not really an issue.</blockquote><div><br>I am on Rogers too.<br>
