Try pinging the DNS servers before you settle on one, you might find it's just the thrill of not using the VM servers that you're getting rather than a speed increase. ~

No, it makes little difference to speed unless the DNS servers are far away. It would be nice if the Superhub let me use other DNS servers simply though, then I could dodge these drop-out issues with ease when they crop up.
