I've done Namebench benchmarks over the past week, and have been noticing that Google DNS is faster, or minimally slower (like 5%) than the Telus DNS now. These benchmarks were conducted on 12AM-2AM, if that matters.
This is quite unusual. In the past 5 years, I've never had an ISP's DNS server be slower than Google or OpenDNS, whether it be Shaw or Telus. But now, Google DNS is actually faster according to Namebench; not just placebo.
What's happening? Has anyone else been noticing slower Telus DNS performance? I've looked at the detailed .csv file, and I think Telus DNS is getting ping spikes on oversea websites.
