I tried this and it does seem to make things a little snappier.
Depending on what you have now, it can speed up DNS resolution a lot.
Does not change your bandwidth speed, of course.
But the faster you get the DNS query back, the faster you are routed to that address.
Some web pages toss dozens of DNSs at you when you load the page, along with the actual content. Ads, etc.. And they all have to be resolved to the actual address.
It takes a fair amount of time to run, 20-30 minutes for me.
I added the two recommended DNS addys to my Windows setup, and I can tell the difference.

That was good information. I ran it, but it said my current DNS server was the fastest, so no need to change.
I am sure others will find their own individual results.

Thank you Mark for posting this.

You're welcome, Steve.
I was kinda thinking that I would get the same results you did. That my present settings were as good as it gets. However, in my case it said the recommended DNS servers were some 250 percent faster.

And I can see the difference.

I get this from speedtest.net. I recently upgraded My router from an older Netgear router to a TP-Link AC1750 router, My weather underground problem vanished after I did so, and I got IPv6 support too, so I'm happy. the result below is about normal for here, it's also the only speed available too.

I've been using Domain Name Speed Benchmark for years.

https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

A unique, comprehensive, accurate & free Windows (and Linux/Wine) utility to determine the exact performance of local and remote DNS nameservers . . .
“You can't optimize it until you can measure it”

Now you CAN measure it!

DNS Benchmark has a smaller foot print.

The best way to familiarize yourself with the DNS Benchmark's operation is to download a copy to your computer. Note that it's not very large (only 163 KB) so it won't take long. And also note that there's nothing to “install” — you just run the executable file. So fire it up and poke around at its many features.

What works best for you is what works best for you.

I measure about once a month and set the three fastest pairs.

How do you set 3 pairs of addresses? I can only set 1 in Local Connections.

Look under your ‘Network Connections’, in my case, open my NIC card properties, click on ‘Internet Protocal Version 4 (TCP/IPv4),
click on ‘Properties’,
click on ‘Advanced’, in ‘Advanced TCP/IP Settings’
click on ‘DNS’ tab,
click on ‘Add…’
and add your addresses.

I added my three fastest DNS pairs.
63.251.161.33
63.251.161.1
8.8.4.4
8.8.8.8
206.253.194.65
206.253.194.97

In addition to these tweaks I use SG TCP Optimizer to fine tune my connection.
