Re: [GA] Mid GA Slow DNS service.

I've noticed the DNS server problem as well. Switched to OpenDNS and it's working much much better.

DNS problems continue on an intermittent basis. Naturally, as usual, Cox Middle GA Customer service claims "no problems".

What problems do I see?
Speed tests after the upgrade show that upload speeds are higher, perhaps a bit too high if this was gained at the expense of download speeds. (As high as 3-4Mb/s upload, and 4-6-Mbps download) This was ~1Mbp/s up and 12-13 Mb/s down before the problems started.
The problems seem to be related to the switch back and forth between "powerboost" and normal data transfer rates.
In addition, a high % of packets (30-40%) are typically "out of order", using »miranda.ctd.anl.gov/ as a testing site.

Smoke Ping shows latency to be ~ 80. Past latency test results (a month ago and previous) were much less, in the 40 range.
