DNS helps to resolve URL to IP address only. The quicker this is done, the faster the page will load. DNS does not play any role after that. It will neither speed up file downloads, nor slow it down.

Consider it like this, Open DNS is just a door which is easy to open. How fast you run after that (download) has no connection with the door.

Welcome

You can switch back to BSNL and give a try if you wish.

I was able to see images posted in Imageshack by some users. I am using Open DNS (Not into an argument. Just shared my experience).

i think opendns is really useful.. atleast for me.. probably because the DNS servers assigned to me by bsnl is horrible.. the imageshack website opens for me (using opendns ) ..
