Your ISP may have an edge here (they should, but don't always), but we've put our servers around the US (with London, England next) to make sure we get as close as possible to you (not sure where you are, geographically).<BR/><BR/>The second part of the mix is software speed & cache size. OpenDNS shines in this area, and that's why we're usually faster even if we're a few milliseconds further away on the network.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>John Roberts<BR/>OpenDNSJohn Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947801867691541283noreply@blogger.com
