Glad I switched to level3 DNS servers (4.2.2.*) .

Never been down for me ever. Not sure how it is compared to OpenDNS though.
If you're talking about 4.2.2.2,3,4 and so on, those are Verizon's DNS servers. But you're right their DNS servers never go down.

Now DHCP servers are another thing...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Yay-for-level-3-DNS-19558222 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 22:20:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Yay-for-level-3-DNS-19558183
