Fix for the internet lag and internet is fast. Works for me but will it work for you?

[Raging Idiot]

I haven't tried it yet, but right now my connection is quite fast with no lag time for connection initialization.
Sometimes it can be slow, which I have generally attributed to bad signal or overloaded servers during peak times.
Perhaps hard coding the DNS is allowing the faster connections, but is it consistent?
In other words, if it's not consistent, then perhaps we could create a switcher program that would effectively switch out the DNS settings whenever one is slow.
I'm just brainstorming possibilities here, I don't know exactly how it works.

You probably won't find a faster or more reliable DNS set than 4.2.2.1 / 2

In the ~4-5 years I've been using it, 4.2.2.2 has only been down once - and all of my customers (60+) use those two DNS servers for lookup.

Now that's the kind of confirmation we all like to see. Thank you. If only PPCGeeks.com was on such a reliable server...

Also, just like many others here, I've found my "Use Specific Server" Option consistently reverts back to default "Use Server Assigned" on each time I go back and look at it. I'm guessing that it doesn't really default back unless you hit "OK" again with the default still selected. (?)
