This week tests show figures such as: "Download Speed is:: 11 kB/s Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Server 2) Test Time:: 2007/06/09 - 4:29pm Bottom Line:: 2X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 93.09 sec" But I added OpenDNS and apparent speed of many searches and redirects is faster. I had not realized until tedder (above) mentioned it that a more secure connection is provided. Here in Latin America the more security the merrier. Thanks.

I am motorcycling from the USA down through Latin America. Currently I'm in Colombia. I started using OpenDNS in Mexico, because the DNS servers at some cafes aren't that great, and I certainly don't trust them. It makes life a LOT easier- I'm using my own laptop, so I just have to have a connection and I can have a reasonably secure connection. So, thanks! You caught my attention.
