</div>Have you tried specifying a DNS server other than Rogers'? Two common<br>
ones that people use are 8.8.8.8 (Google) and 4.2.2.2 (a big ISP in<br>
the US). You may find that your DNS queries will be much lower latency<br>
this way.<br></blockquote><div><br clear="all">Yes.<br><br>I was on the Google DNS for a long time, and when the issues started with <br>Rogers, I suspected that Google's DNS was to blame and switched to Rogers'<br>
DNS. <br><br>It made no difference.<br></div></div>-- <br>Khalid M.
