Speed up your browsing?
Whenever you visit a website such as Accrington Web - Discussion forum for the Hyndburn and Accrington area. your ISPs DNS server has to resolve the 'human' name to one a computer can understand, an IP address which is a set of numbers.
For various reasons your ISPs one can be quite slow. Google reckon they've come up with a refined version which will speed up the process of resolving an address and therefore speed up your browsing experience. I've given it a go and it seems quite nippy. Instructions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS are located at Using Google Public DNS

Re: Speed up your browsing?
It's been faster during today, but seemed to slow down at about 8pm. Will keep it going for a few days to see if it's consistent. Perhaps it's something to do with American schoolkids going online?
At the shop, which has BT internet, I get a massive slowdown at 4pm. If it's down to the local kids clogging up the bandwidth, it's particularly galling as I pay for business rates for my internet connection... |
