Won't make any difference. It might improve your domain name resolve times, but that's all. |

Just ran a namebench DNS test and I got these guys for best DNS service- Primary DNS -208.72.120.204 avarage ms was 39
Secondary sever - 64.71.255.204 These DNS are locate in Cambridge
Rogers was down the list for DNS for me |

The reason to switch from using Rogers' DNS is because its historically unreliable, not because of latencies. |

And in terms of gaming latency, think of the DNS server like a phonebook. Changing it might allow you to look up the address more quickly, but it won't speed up actually delivering something to that address. |

Then what improves gaming latency? More upload , download |

Nope ... nothing ... except go to gaming servers closer to you. |

I used to fix my 'routing' to World of Tanks server using a good VPN (lower latency\no packet loss compared to (at that time start.ca provider)). |
