Lately I am experiencing low speed/high ping/some packet losses, only once a while. I am not sure what's the cause of that, but should I use some other DNS servers to see if it does improve anything? And also, which DNS do you use?
DNS does not help with packet loss or speed problems. All a DNS server does, is translate IP addresses into host names, so when you type in cnn.com in your browser, it actually knows what IP address to connect to. It has absolutely 0 effect on packet loss or speed problems.
That said, the TWC DNS aren't the best out there, and as others suggest using something like OpenDNS can not hurt one bit.
