Just curious on how many of you have changed any DNS from local ISP default, and ESO impact

Ranger74z✭✭✭I've changed to Google DNS (specify results if any please in comments)I personally love OpenDNS, but I'm using Google DNS on my xbox for one reason...a decent amount of the dungeons won't load properly without it.
I honestly have no idea why, but the last 8 or so original dungeons on the list in-game simply won't work without it.
I discovered this by accident just by playing. Changed to Google DNS one day and voila! All works well.
Anyways, thought I'd mention it.

✭I've changed to Google DNS (specify results if any please in comments)When I changed to Google DNS, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4... it was like night and day... there was no more of that slight lag when you interact with crafting stations, writ boards... etc...
Edit: Also the rubber banding while galloping disappeared... Its like playing a different game...Edited by sevomd69 on August 5, 2017 8:26PM0 -

✭Just get DNS Benchmark or Namebench. Nobody can accurately answer this for you unless they are sitting in your home using your connection. Sometimes public DNS can provide slight performance increases, other times your ISP's DNS will outperform popular public DNS solutions.0 -

Not looking for me to fix anything, just curious on others experiences. I was reading through some Reddit posts on all of the error 200, disconnects, etc. affecting a subset of our community. it made me curious on ESO gamers experiences. I am also studying CDNs and how they interact with DNS.
I basically have none of the issues being experienced over the last few months, except the lag at prime time PVP.
Thanks everyone your comments!
