How terribly exciting! Google have launched a Public DNS service and rather than ignore it blindly like I probably should, I've decided to use them as my Primary and Secondary DNS servers. Perhaps what would be more sensible is to set them as my secondary DNS servers to at least have a reliable backup should my ISP's DNS Servers fail - this happens often.
Who else is using them? Nice and easy to remember! 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (I wonder how much it costs to get IP addresses like that!).

I've been using it since yesterday. I've actually seen a nice little boost in my browsing speed. I like it.
Is it a big enough boost to bother changing my settings?

Then allow me to enlighten you.
DNS Servers are super important. They allow domain names (like sonic-online.com) to be turned into IP addresses, which is what computers really need to navigate the web. Without DNS Servers, you'd have to memorize the IP of every website you want to visit. There's other reasons that would be a huge deal, but that's the important one.
