I’ve been using OpenDNS for a number of years. I set it on my router rather than on individual clients so that everyone connecting to my Internet gets the added benefit.

Not only is it useful as a user, it’s very powerful as a web developer because it means I am able to see every new web domain I register very quickly since the DNS propagation is aggressive versus what most Internet Service Provider’s own schedule.

I have just switched to open DNS from Orange UK’s servers and have seen approx 30% improvement in web retrievals. I’m on Win 7.

I have used OpenDNS for years and I usually try to set up every router I’m in to use it. It’s almost a habit now.

I just tested Google DNS instead of OpenDNS and it is noticeably slower in the browser “resolving DNS” when loading websites, I measure by opening 20 tabs of websites at the same time and Google DNS definately resolves the sites slower than OpenDNS for me. Question, did you sign into OpenDNS and get IP’s for your own DNS, or did you just use mine. I know they provide the closest DNS servers to your IP Subnet, just trying to see which way you chose the IP’s to use.
