[Cialug] DNS problems at Mediacom??

[Tim Champion]

I'm on Mediacom, and I just now switched to OpenDNS on my home rounter.

Night and day difference!  Thanks for the suggestion. It used to sit & spin
sometimes trying to look up a site.  I'd cancel the load, and try again, and
it would sometimes work.  Now, its all better and snappy.
