"Google DNS: speed up DNS, which improves load times, which improves the overall web experience."

Oh, just stop.

It's even more disappointing to consider that you believe this to be true.

As a counter-anecdote to your disbelief, I've enjoyed internet on an ISP whose DNS servers were very slow. Slow enough for me to spend the effort to find out what's the holdup between enter key and first paint. DNS responses were about 350ms, compared to 8.8.8.8 sub-20ms.

Edit: I should add that the slowness wasn't a peak hour thing, it was consistent, all day, for several months.

Switching made my subjective experience better.

What exactly is it that you believe is the truth then?
