Is OpenDNS slow for anyone else as of the last couple days?

Just curious if anyone else reading this has experienced extreme slowness with the OpenDNS servers for about the past 2-3 days. I finally just switched all DNS entries back to my ISP and everything is working much faster. A big disappointment to me, especially after posting an article about how OpenDNS will SPEED UP YOUR INTERNET! Boo OpenDNS! I’ll try again in a few weeks.

thanks mike, i checked the system status on your site and it showed nothing being down or slow. so, i wasn’t sure if it was on your end or mine. either way, changing to my isp’s dns server fixed the problem, so i’m guessing it was opendns even though the system status wasn’t reflecting that.
