Just to clarify a few things:
Do you know what a DNS server is and what it does?
"An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the domain name www.example.com translates to the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4) and 2620:0:2d0:200::10 (IPv6)."
You won't NEED to change DNS servers unless you're moving. Upgrading speeds won't change that, but the ISP's DNS servers aren't always the fastest. Like I mentioned in the other post there are free public DNS servers anyone can use like Google, FreeDNS, OpenDNS and so on.
I've been using 4.2.2.3 (Primary) 4.2.2.5 (Secondary).
Here's a short list:
Google DNS:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
DNS Advantage:
156.154.70.1
156.154.71.1
OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
VNSC-pri.sys.gtei.net:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
