Dear Readers,
With thanks to manu-j and one contributor there: Stevan Bajić, below you will find a very rough table giving us a comparative performance difference between Streamyx's DNS (202.188.0.133) and Google's DNS (8.8.8.8).

So what can we say about this result? We have a competent DNS? Unbelievable, right! But as you can see, Streamyx's is a little inconsistent (look at manu-j.com and tb4.fr) while Google's DNS consistently posts results in the 60-70ms range. Access to facebook.com is very fast though. :) Also, I took the liberty to test 2 websites that maybe most Malaysians find close to their hearts: thestar.com.my and Maybank2u.com.my The results are as follows:
8.8.8.8 “thestar.com.my” 70 msec
202.188.0.133 “maybank2u.com.my” 109 msec
8.8.8.8 “maybank2u.com.my” 72 msec
As you can see, Google's DNS is slightly faster in resolving the websites. Please note these are best performance numbers and your own performance may vary. If you wanna try Google's Public DNS out, please visit http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
Have a great time surfing faster!
