I live in New Zealand where all the ISPs and mobile carriers provide fast and reliable DNS resolvers. I've looked into switching to alterntive DNS providers but every one of them are slower than my ISP's resolver. I'm aware that the sitation is quite different in the US and certan other countries, but I wish more Americans were aware that junk ISP-provided DNS servers seem to be an issue exclusive to certain countries (such as the US). I think it would be an intrerestin exercise to figure out why they occur in certain countries and not in other countries.
