Giant Time Warner outage in midwest

Doing this is not necessarily a good idea. Some streaming providers (e.g. Netflix) use DNS load balancing to route you to the closest streaming servers. Configuring alternate DNS servers can break this process and give you suboptimal streaming performance.

Bah. I use OpenDNS and had Netflix with no issues at all. You would think they would use your actual IP to Geo locate, not the damn DNS. LOL
