their ISP DNS to OpenDNS and significantly increased their speeds. I've found OpenDNS to be very reliable and I use it for all my DNS queries. My DNS servers no longer point to root servers, but to OpenDNS servers. Robert LeBlanc BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/

Re: [uug] ISP in Provo

I would suggest Broadweave. I think that there was a lot of problems when Broadweave bought the Fibre. I've had very good service with them in the last 6 months or so.
