Guess I'll be switching, since I don't use OpenDNS for anything other than blocking malware sites. |
Nice tool! - thanks for pointing it out.
My results (fastest first) :-
1) My ISP (servers 1 + 2)
2) OpenDNS (servers 1 + 2)
3) DNS Advantage (server 2)
4) Comodo DNS (servers 1 + 2)
5) DNS Advantage (server 1)
Interestingly both Comodo Secure DNS and DNS Advantage are owned by Neustar which is presumably why they are so close in response times. I wonder if they also share the same levels of security in that case?
So I'm satisfied with my choice of OpenDNS but obviously the benchmarking tool proved my feeling for their relative speeds in use, was wrong.
