I found this on another forum.
WOW I immediately notice the difference, the improvement is instantaneous.

www.opendns.com

follow the very simple 10 seconds step by step instructions.
change the DNS settings to

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

happy surfing!

let me know how this works around the world. No problems whatsoever in Canada or US.

Fine if your ISP DNS servers are slow, (if they are you should think about changing ISPs) - but I'd recommend keeping your normal DNS primary/secondary - they'll be only a few hops rather than many, for example those DNS servers are 18 hops from me with a 160ms response time, my ISPs are 3 hops and 15ms.

It might be worth adding these as 3rd and 4th DNS resolvers in case your ISP DNS dies though.

cheers

How can i test if the new settings really make it go faster?! A link to a site maybe where you can test the internet speed ?!
Here. Select everywhere "nicht in der Liste" and leave the last array empty. Then click the button "Speedtest jetzt starten". Wait a minute and then you can see the results.
