maccabi I know from experience. Maybe you should head over to DSLReports.
I game using Sprint 3G. Sprint if you don't know runs a blind proxy so they just re-grab the packets if I use OpenDNS over their automatically assigned addresses.
And I will provide proof as it seems I have to be the that guy when it comes to you.
www.grc.com/dns/dns.htm
The link is a nameserver spoofability test(Test Button on Bottom). When I statically enter OpenDNS's addresses, my router says that's what I am using but infact they are not actually being used. The spoofabilty test says that I am using my ISP's addresses of 68.28.138.132, 68.28. 137.132 when I am using OpenDNS or as I thought i was. Luckily my MBR-1000 router has OpenDNS ISP Filter Bypass Algorithm, Some ISPs filter OpenDNS requests and redirect them to different DNS servers. Enabling this will attempt to bypass those filters when using an OpenDNS Content Filtering Level.
So I can actually use OpenDNS with Sprint. So was my last post wrong? No, you just didn't have such knowledge. Also, OpenDNS does speed up lookup times, surpized you don't know that either. Subscribing to some current tech magzines websites or soemthing can fix that.
and again you are talking about website ips/url and confusing the two,opendns uses a caching system to speed up website urls mome of that gumpf you posted above has any relavance. but erm wait so your saying opendns speeds up lookup times.. thats really wierd as that would mean using it would erm lower latency, and latency when your dealing with websites (again what your misguided failed retort to me was about) is the time it takes to load and use functions on a website.

It's real and fact on that matter. And what's odd is that you think DNS helps latency. Maybe on the lookup but after that, DNS doesn't even come into play. Unless you actually can see every route and hop when using your 360 then basically you have no proof. I actually found it surprizing you didn't even know some iSP's run blind proxy's, and it appears you have been corrected.
I think we already established your talking out of the part of you use for sitting on, you know making sarcastic replies telling me to read up on stuff would be advice you should use yourself and stop reading internet sites dealing with website lookups eh? you are obviously reading the wrong stuff, your whole pointless rant about hijacking again...deals with websites, but then its ok dexter you have a proven track record of talking absolute cow poop and standing firmly by your infactual statements even when corrected by numerous people.
but hey its ok dude someone of your tiny knowledge wouldnt understand how UDP packets are sent (if it helps theres a really handy article on this very thread explaining how they are sent) , but heres the cliffnotes... every single packet you send needs dns to to find where to go, as you arent making a direct connection to a host when you play online cames such as cod. Know why on xbox at least you have to have port 53 open.. as thats the primary port used on the internet for dns and udp. slightly related as i said orginally in the elgaphant your console sets dns to your modem or router not your isps a tier3 dns server changing that alone WILL decrease latency (and im very clear in the post it wont make a huge difference).
as you obviously havent read the elagphant heres what i actually wrote.
"you may or may not find matchmaking is slightly faster and the game is slightly better, if you have a super best money can buy connection already you prolly wont notice that much if any of a difference but again, you have optimized the connection for xbox somewhat will knock a few ms off your usual ping"
but tell you what when i make a elagaphant thread about making websites work quicker you'll be the first person i will ask to help, till them might still be an idea to leave the actual game and networking stuff to the professionals so you dont confuse any more poor saps.

And in regards to your 360 vs PS3 ramble, I was replying to esmorgue who plays on PS3 and said nothing about 360. So I don't understand the reasoning for even bringing that up. Starting to sound like a fanboy or something. And again it's funny that you constantly say I am wrong when not even saying what I am wrong about but just saying so.
ok you're wrong (again) and if you want a reason .. you know he plays on the xbox too right? pretty sure he does else i and others spent a good few hours yesterday playing with an imposter (want me to make another snide comment about checking your facts or we good on that point yet?)

When playing MW3 on 360/ PS3 whatever, unless the game is constantley looking up the DNS addresses when playing, then changing DNS will not help at all. For the most part DNS will help nothing but maybe speed up browsing a little and webpage lookups which is what the DNS is mainly for.
so now your actually agreeing with me albeit only as you dont understand game traffic when its sent via udp #facepalm in case you skipped this part eearly every single packet you send needs dns to arrive at the host as you DO NOT MAKE a direct connection to a host when playing, A game packet leaves your console/pc with nothing more than an ip address and a port number stuck to it and guess what it needs to use to find the hosts console/pc.. give you a clue its a three letter acronym that starts with D.

So no hate against you but you seem to just blow off anything you don't know, and well I have made mistakes in the past with the P2P stuff but I was 17, now I am taking networking courses and I am 19. So the person you knew before is no longer.
"where the hell are you getting this info from? bejus dude seriously? half the stuff you are talking about looks like you just copy and pasted it from a paid for article for opendns and most of it deals with websites NOT gaming traffic . i cant even be bothered to correct the multitude of mistakes in that last piece ,
I see no mistakes, I see accurate information backed up by others and my own experience, even my router's help file explains it, and even has settings for such a thing when ISP's run blind proxy's. It seems the elephant has had too many peanuts.
the reason you see no mistakes is you still have a blinkered view, but then it might be because you're now 19 and doing a basic networking course and discussing the issues with someone who holds the highest possible network certification possible and spent nearly 8 years in the game industry making mpogs. Basically sparky with your level of knowledge I wouldnt employ you as a teaboy for my team, actually thinking about it the guy we do have making the tea actually holds more qualifications and a better base of knowledge than you have anyways,
