Hi guys

Can somebody indicate what the advantages are, for using Googles DNS?

I can't seem to find much detail around the advantages, so those who have it set, please let me know

Thanks
Ice

It's slower than your local ISP's or your own DNS server. But likely to be more reliable.

If you do see your web pages take forever to load, switch to googles.


I have 8.8.8.8 as my primary and AH as secondary.

Yeah, the AH one went down a few times, do ended up just keeping Google there permenantly. I think MTN one also failed a few times
