I am using OpenDNS in my Home Network, besides of going faster, I can block certains websites for my little brothers and in my work, we use it to prevent people to use IM and such things. I don't have problems with my ISP, nothing to complaint, but using OpenDNS seems to go a little bit faster. Anyway, you may want to take a look by yourself.
