Re: Routing or DNS

There is one very good reason for using an ISP's DNS servers and that's to do with Content Delivery Networks.

If your ISP has CDNs deployed in their network it will improve your service.

Google, Netflix, Akamai, and others do deploy their (and their customer) content inside certain ISP networks.
