Way OT: OpenDNS

["Dotan Cohen" <dotancohen@gmail.com>]

My Internet access has been getting slower and slower and my ISP is a joke:

$ ping google.com
PING google.com (64.233.167.99) 56(84) bytes of data.

Are there any known problems / gotchas with OpenDNS? I do know that
they redirect google queries through their own servers and return ads
in place of unregistered domains, but those 'features' can be turned
off. Anything else that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance.
