Not sure it's down to location as they have a UK / European setup as well – but I firmly believe (inline with stuff I've read) that it is likely down to the way they cache.

True.

Interesting that you've had problems. I wonder if location has something to do with it because OpenDNS has been very reliable for us.

So true – I love OpenDNS for its addons such as the filtering but I, and others I've read about, have had some weird experiences with OpenDNS and I'm nothing if not a pro-choice person.

So why give one when several is better?

Good info Stuart that many people don't really know about.

As for me, all my machines are set to use openDNS. I like it for the increase in speed and the ability to set network level filtering which makes for a safer Internet environment…especially with kids in the house.
