In this article we shall learn about different methods to change your default DNS to Google’s DNS to double your Internet speed. This will allow you to get maximum speed and bandwidth.

In Simple word, DNS translates more readily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses which is required to locate and identify computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols.

Why Default ISP’s DNS is slower than Google DNS

ISP’s are there to make business by providing internet services. Naturally, they are lured to use as much DNS’S as possible available to ISP. Each time one connects to ISP, they(ISP) assign a dynamic(Random) IP to connect to internet. This causes the slower connection.

On other hand, Google’s DNS servers are hosted at the local data center worldwide, and hence it is easier for Google to send users to the closest data center based on their geographical location.

By tracking user’s locations Google re-routes the Internet traffic, and Google’s data centers are the best option compared to local ISP.
