    As you might have noticed, the internet speed has increased lately
    I just got to know that Google and Opendns are behind that
    it's a new technology to make Internet faster for users around the world


    I don't how does this work but this will definitely make sense, since google knows the roots of the Internet and Opendns is leader on DNS.

    A big part of it is Google has been developing a completely new/faster Internet protocol (which they use for google.com when you use Chrome)... it's why google.com and gmail.com and other Google sites are so much faster when using Chrome.

    The speed of the Internet hasn't increased . As Shawn pointed out Google just increased the speed of their own pages . Much of that type of technology can be implemented by the webmaster provided he has the knowledge to do it .

    Google already have their own DNS servers. Why would they use OpenDNS?

    I am using Mozilla FF and I could not affirm that there is an increase in speed. For me, the speed is still the same...

    By the way, what do you mean by the speed? Page loading speed?

    Anyone can use it on their web server. Currently the only web browser that supports it is Chrome, but Firefox is working on adding support (see the "Network" section here).

    that technology was introduced earlier, I guess it's a protocol designed exclusively for Chrome /Chromium that's why google stuff load faster on Chrome I also noticed google voice work perfectly while still got problems on Firefox
    as for this it will affect the entire internet network, globally
    yeah I agree with you all, you won't see anything unless you use either Opendns or Google dns server as David Ulevitch clarified:

    "Anybody using OpenDNS or Google Public DNS will immediately get the benefits of this technology," said OpenDNS Chief Executive David Ulevitch in an interview. Using it, "the worst-case scenario is that things remain they way they are today," and the best-case scenario is that network delays are as low as they can be, he said.
