[AusNOG] Google DNS

[Andrew Paternoster]

I have had issues in the past with CDN services not picking the closest mirror and it always seems to be linked with google dns servers or open dns servers. If you use the local ISP ones it works no problems.

Itunes and akami servers were the ones off the top of my head with the issues.

Might same someone a bit of time working out what’s going on with customers complaining of slow download speeds.

Just on that, why are they so popular?  For me it's partially laziness.
The addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are easy to remember, and particularly
if you're configuring a connection on an ISP that isn't your own it's
often a pain to go and find those details.

I also like to use optus, 61.88.88.88
