[LM_NET] TECH Have you tried OpenDNS to speed up your router?

I wanted to try this method for speeding up my router, but my Linksys 
model (BESFR41) was not listed, AND although there were instructions 
provided for a single computer hookup,  I have an iMac and a Windows PC 
wired to my Linksys, so I got spooked out of trying it.  NY /Times 
/columnist David Pogue, who read about it in /PC World/,  claims 
that...."Once I plugged the Open DNS addresses into my router, the wait 
time for a complex Web page went from 3-4 seconds down to 1-2, on both 
my Macs and PC's"

If you try it, let me know if you get the same speed jumps that David 
says he got.
