Quite a few ISPs have a direct link into Google's network too.

I usually use OpenDNS especially as it supports IPv6

[sparkler]

they also have the benefit of not being censored by the uk government as well

I don't think we are censored in the UK in terms of the net that much apart from the obvious stuff which should be.

[Technical Ben]
