HOT TO: Add Google DNS Servers on a Mac:

1. Go to System Preferences -> Network -> click “Advanced”

Using Google Public DNS.

Important: Before You Start:

Before you change your DNS settings to use Google Public DNS, be sure to write down the current server addresses or settings on a piece of paper. It is very important that you keep these numbers for backup purposes, in case you need to revert to them at any time.

How's your speed?
