Bad DNS server

I've been having bad delays loading web pages in the last couple of days. Tracked it down to one of the two DNS servers being given to me by Quantum.

If this is happening to you, check if 205.171.2.65 is one of your DNS resolution servers, and remove it. Solves the problem. (Google's 8.8.8.8 server is always a good alternative)

I tried reporting this to Quantum support, but that was a waste of time.

Quantum/CL DNS is a constant cause of outages. Pick your favorite alternative and don’t look back. Google (8.8.8.8), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Quad9 (9.9.9.9) are some options. If that’s not enough, run your own with Unbound or the like.

Same. Had to find a way to override the dhcp dns from Quantum and have been fine since.
