Now here's something I know sweet FA about...
I have just changed to Bulldog 8 meg service and overall I'm delighted with it. However, I noticed a comment on another forum site in which one user said this:
And then another user said this:
Now, I have found the customer service to be superb, and my download speed is averaging around 6.6mb which is more than acceptable given my distance from the exchange and living in a 15th floor flat.
But the comment about web browsing is interesting, because I have indeed noticed that pages don't load any faster than the 2mb service I had before, even marginally slower.
What is a DNS server? When the second comment mentions that he changed to "Zens", what does he mean, would this be a good move for me, and if so how do I do it?

Bulldog's customer service & techincal support was bad in my experience, using their 8Mbps service. The service wasn't great for browsing either (their DNS either down or very slow at responding).
And then another user said this:
To counter the last two posts, I on the other hand have had excellent service from Bulldog.
I've been with them two years and initial installation at 2mb and the subsequent upgrades to 4 and 8 mb went smoothly.
I'm about 400mts from the exchange and I get a solid 6.7mb connection.
DlMathews right about the dNS servers though, so I use Zens,apart from that, the speeds good (I have four networked computers online), the uploads great and no caps.
