Download treewalk at »ntcanuck.com/
Change your dns servers to another provider like level 3 at
4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 . Enjoy MUCH faster browsing .

For those that don't know, Treewalk runs a dns server on your own pc and only goes on the net to get site addresses if they aren't in the local cache.

Much faster than the charter BS

I personally locate some DNS servers of a business or something close to me to use, I use ones that are like 50 miles from me, works great.

So does that mean no more VPNs to the workplace for residential customers?

Any info on the broken VPN issue?

Not exactly on topic, but here is a link that checks DNSs out.

A lot of warning flags for charter.

Sounds like Charter needs to learn how to properly set up a system of DNS servers before it allows some third-party corporation to hijack them.
