Is anyone else seeing slow DNS?


I'm seeing DNS requests taking a very long time to resolve, both at work and at home. Different transport, different computers, even different OSes. I've been seeing this for a couple of weeks.

Is anyone else running into this? Anyone know what's going on?

Also different DNS servers?

https://www.dnsperf.com/ does DNS services monitoring.

Personally I think something might have happened over at root server level as I had issues while working with dig and whois tools.

Yes. my home network is super slow and usually I blame Comcast but this is different.
