Sadly the DNS server some of us started using the other week seems now to be completely preventing web browsing. I removed it from my settings. A good DNS might well serve up your pages for you faster than ntl's own, but I am not an authority at all on what impact DNS would have on online gaming.

My guess would be that online games rely on a data stream, and if that's the case I don't see how a Domain Name Service would affect that.
