I suggest for everyone to use namebench and/or dns benchmark to find the best local dns servers for their area. Once you perform a namebench test it will give you all the servers in a local area with fastest and most reliable at the top. I always use the top 2 choices as primary and secondary. I also experiment and go down the list if I don't feel like anything has changed. I used this method back when mw3 1st came out and the lag and hit detection were horrible and it helped reduce alot of the bs I was having. The Google servers I was using weren't the best for my area, some local Verizon server 110 miles away was like 24 percent faster with less errors. I'm only saying to use these sites to help find servers that are local or closer to where you are located. Having a server across the country usually makes things a bit worse due to ping time and packet loss due to the long distance traveled and back. Granted this communication is faster than the mind can comprehend and happens in hundredths and thousandths of seconds (pretty cool when you think about a signal from your computer hitting a server like 2k miles away and back in like 30 miliseconds. Not actual speed but using as an example, would probably be more like 100ms + unless on like Google fiber)
