Why does virgin media's DNS suck for you?
- Which virgin DNS servers are you using?
- Which websites go slow?
- Did you use any dns test tools, what were the results?
One difference i have noticed is if a domain has failed DNS servers (which don't respond) - Virgin's return SERVFAIL after a 5 second timeout, whereas opendns return a DNS entry anyway which points you off to this page

Other than that VM's DNS seems to respond twice as fast pretty reliably to successful lookups!
I'd love to be able to replicate this, and get poor service from their DNS servers so we can tell VM whats wrong and ask them to fix it!
