Google dns is the best.

203.124.230.21

check with google's, own ISP's, DNS, openDNS etc .
How Fast Is Your ISP’s DNS Server; Compare with Speed of OpenDNS

Although i know its too late to reply for this thread but i wanted to share the information which i got yesterday.

Namebench is a new open source tool that helps to take the guess-work out of the DNS server selection process. namebench benchmarks available DNS services and provides a personalized comparison to show you which name servers perform the best
It hunts down the fastest DNS servers available for your computer to use. namebench runs a fair and thorough benchmark using your web browser history, tcpdump output, or standardized datasets in order to provide an individualized recommendation. namebench is completely free and does not modify your system in any way. This project began as a 20% project at Google.

Here is the download link
namebench-1.3.1-Windows.exe - namebench - namebench 1.3 for Windows (portable executable) - Project Hosting on Google Code

After installing click start and it will take about 10-15 mins approx to do a series of tests and then display a page where it shows the comparison of your current dns server and the best dns server

here is how its looks,just an example

changing dns won't really give a noticeable difference if internet in your area is ok.

REp Power is depending on REp Points received and number of posts.
usually after 500 posts REP power will increase by 1.

2.Please open USERCP and scroll down.
you will find the Rep points and who gave you point/s for which thread. total on top.
