Sorry if this is on the wrong part of the forum.

Tomorrow I have the joy of switching from Ukonline to Sky, enforced I might add. They have sent me a Sagem router, what model i don't know but I do know that it won't be as good as my current router at holding on the signal at low snr's which my crappy line is prone to at night.  Well I have got my username and password from here  https://www.cm9.net/skypass/  and I was wondering what are the Sky DNS  primary and secondary settings are?.  Perhaps I would be better off configuring my router (DG834G v3)with open dns  which are

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Advice Please

I think you would be better off using OpenDNS or some other external DNS service such as Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).

Thanks for the reply.    One question though, isn't Google based in the US and therefore using their DNS would be slower than using one based here?  I seem to remember reading this on the sky user forum.  I take it the that I had the address right for opendns?

There are Google DNS servers all over the world. You'll be connected to local ones.

Your OpenDNS addresses are correct.
