Google Public DNS IP addresses

The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for alternate.

The Google Public DNS IPv6 addresses are as follows:

2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

apparently my telus router is hardwired. i cannot change the DNS wtf.

what routers do you guys recommend?

small apartment, no need for crazy wifi. as long as everything works...

[lilaznviper]

can telus bridge the modem/router combo now? if they can't then its useless adding in another router.

Is your ISP Telus?

Why do you expect the ISP evaluation from IPLEAK.NET to change after you tell your computer to use Google's address book to resolve names to its IP equivalent?

Edit: It seems like the "feature" Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution might be the culprit here. This feature, when turned on, will use whichever DNS that responds the fastest. It seems like an easy fix if you're on a Professional version of WIN10, as opposed to Home edition.
