Background
When browsing on the internet, all your requests for pages are processed by a DNS (Domain Name System). This is typically provided by your ISP and this system plays an important role in the speed of getting data in.
Tip
Google recently made a Google Public DNS available. Following their instructions one can easily point to their DNS and this does bring speed improvements in most cases.
