Speedup of the Swedish 3G provider tre

After getting a 3G connection on my new toy, I noticed that connecting to a site when browsing the web could take a long time, but as soon as it gets to the page it’s fast. Typical behavior of a slow DNS server. So after changing my /etc/resolv.conf file to use the OpenDNS servers instead, the increase in speed is incredible!
The eee PC use resolvconfig, so to make the changes permanent you need to go to the directory
sudo pico /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
Add these two lines:
nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220
to the file and save.
My guess is that Tre has a lot of customers that gets annoyed of the slow speed, and all the provider needs to do is to upgrade their dns servers. Or maybe tip their customer of a better alternative. Go figure…
