I have noticed a vast improvement after running this tool called namebench. It really does a great job of finding the DNS servers with the best performance for your area.
you can find this tool here: https://code.google.com/p/namebench/
After running this, I have found that using opendns' 208.67.220.222 server is 23.6% faster than my old google 8.8.8.8 server.
If you are wondering how you can change my dns routing, get openwrt. I have a post on that outlining openwrt on mr3020. Your router will most likely not be a tp-link mr3020 but roughly the same instructions apply. I advise you visit openwrt's website for more info: https://openwrt.org/
As usual, hats off to the developers of namebench and openwrt. This would not be possible without you.
