Im just curious as to what DNS Servers people are using for their connection and how they find them.

I have run Googles namesbench to see whats the best for my connection and OpenDNS was primary, BT was second and VMs 2nd DNS server was third.

What im finding is in the evenings sometimes it can be slow switching between sites, i know its not connection speed as if i do a speedtest and download a file i get near to full speed all the time.
