Main reason was that if I typed for example e-one.gr (without the "www" in firefox address bar I would get the opendns search page. Thats not acceptable since many sites dont use "www" anymore (http://no-www.org/) and if the server isnt setup to redirect correctly the dnd server should always try both cases before displaying the search($) page. Too bad because your dns resolving was faster than mine. But we cant have it all, can we ?

As a long time administrator and programmer I am delighted with the speed and quality of service OpenDNS provides. The occasional mistype at the keyboard when I'm in a hurry is often corrected and always perfectly. Thank you, keep up the good work! I’ve been recommending OpenDNS to all my friends and family.

My ISP's DNS servers respond within 24ms whereas OpenDNS is 101ms from my location. You have something to beat there! Definitely need that London server.

I live in the UK, and although my ISP's DNS servers are only a short hop away in London, my service has improved imensely since I switched to your DNS servers stateside. I can't wait to see the improvement when your London server comes online. Great work! Hey guys, this is a fantastic service!
