Re: DNS redirection is NOT deep packet inspection

I tried OpenDNS, and sure, it works, but I didn't like the fact that they were actually slower for me than Rogers own DNS servers. I am looking for a faster DNS server, that doesn't fool around with my experience (eg: offer searches with ads, mess around with std. error messages, etc.)

It is a Net Neutrality violation to a great many, regardless of what "experts" lead us to believe. Geeks like you and I may know how to switch DNS servers, but the average Joe doesn't even know what a DNS server is, let alone know how to choose one of their own volition. They trust that the service just works, and when it stops working the way they know and love, they loose trust.

Trust is key in the Net Neutrality debate.
