    Thanks for the tutorial guys :)

    Why don't we change TCP/IPv6 too?

    Swarf - Who's your ISP? Which DNS Server do you use?
    I use BT and Googles DNS and don't see much difference, just curious where you get best results as we are only 50 miles or so apart.

    Seems faster than OpenDNS for me... I liked :)

    The last test I did - I will have to dig out the test app again - the following were the fastest for the UK

    Primary 4.2.2.5
    Secondary 4.2.2.3

    Eagerly awaiting the link Nigel, it'll be interesting to see how much difference there really is.

    I think that's the app I used previously - but not sure . The advantage of something like this is it gives a personal answer, so even someone in he house next door could get different recommendations dependent on their actual ISPs infrastructure
