Re: Bandwidth Meter

said by ctg1701a:

You could just as easily use the DNS servers here with no redirection:

»dns.comcast.net/dns-ip-addresses2.php

And get faster responses from a closer DNS server to you on the Comcast network.
Define "faster" please.

ping 4.2.2.1 -n 10

Ping statistics for 4.2.2.1:
Packets: Sent = 10, Received = 10, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 17ms, Maximum = 23ms, Average = 18ms

ping 4.2.2.2 -n 10

Ping statistics for 4.2.2.2:
Packets: Sent = 10, Received = 10, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 19ms, Maximum = 21ms, Average = 19ms

ping 68.87.72.130 -n 10

Ping statistics for 68.87.72.130:
Packets: Sent = 10, Received = 10, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 27ms, Maximum = 30ms, Average = 27ms

ping 68.87.77.130 -n 10

Ping statistics for 68.87.77.130:
Packets: Sent = 10, Received = 10, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 61ms, Maximum = 67ms, Average = 62ms

The below queries were ran once to "cache" the lookup on the DNS server, then repeated 10x in succession to compute the average query response time:
dig www.dslreports.com. @4.2.2.1 = 29 ms
dig www.dslreports.com. @4.2.2.2 = 30 ms
dig www.dslreports.com. @68.87.72.130 = 39 ms
dig www.dslreports.com. @68.87.77.130 = 70 ms

From any definition of "faster" that I can think of relating to DNS, 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 were marginally to twice as fast as the "closer" Comcast provided server.
