They do frequently seem to be faster than many ISP's own DNS servers, yes.

I would keep the IP addresses handy in a txt file for those occasions when your ISP's DNS servers decide to go die.

They should be automatic, so if you decide to change back just set it back to "auto" or whatever the term they use on your set-up is. The router will retrieve them from your ISP . If you changed the settings just locally on your PC, again you can just change it back to auto and it should retrieve the DNS settings from the router.

Failing all of that, the settings you desire are a mere google away

I think its back up?

Thanks for that. Might end up just keeping opendns though as it may be in my head but some sites do seem a little quicker.

Yeah it's working fine again.

 

[LukeTW]

All working fine and dandy
