i tried changing my DNS from Comcast to Google and got WORSE speed than with the Comcast DNS. yet, im having offloading issues that affect gaming like stink on poop!!
how is OpenDNS? fast? can it handle 160MBit/20MBit speeds?
now with the news of Comcast BUYING out Time Warner, for a reported $44 BILLION!! i think this is going to get worse. each time i start noting the burps in speed and what is known as "Rubber Banding" i check my route, and guess what, for some reason my Comcast gets routed through AT&T Nodes <--- WTF?!?!?
yes you read right, my signal ( when affected ), goes from my house, through AT&T UVerse and P.O.T.S. DSL Nodes, then onto Chicago where the BF4 Server my gaming clan rents from is located.... yet the server nor my comcast have no ( or at least claim not to ) affiliation with AT&T.
NFO Servers, use Inter-nap 10GBit Connections, through Level 3 and other Tier 1 Providers....not AT&T!!!
so what the hell? why do i get routed to less capable, slower rated, smaller throughput ability nodes?
