Been a while since Google launched its Public DNS service and having used it for that long, I felt it was very unreliable. I had issues opening websites that had a lot of external items in it, and the most frustrating experience was with BBC UK’s site whose newsimg sub-server failed to resolve when using their DNS – I do much news reading on BBC during my random bursts of surfing.
However, I noted that these failures in resolving (or could be something else) were very odd, happening even after I’d successfully opened a web page. Switching to my former DNS, OpenDNS, makes all the issues go away, making me certain about the fault lying within Google’s service. I’m continuing to use OpenDNS here-on, until a good news article about the other trickles down my feed reader someday.
I leave it to my lurking readers to identify an oddity in the speedometer image used on Google’s DNS page.
