Is your Windows Mobile device slow accessing the web/internet?

Well here’s a fix. Sort of. Jim recently took delivery of his T-Mobile Vario and found it ridiculously slow accessing the internet (as documented on this post). Kmara of RipPod.com added a comment on the post suggesting Jim take a look at this link on MoDaCo. Essentially, top MoDaCo man Paul figured out that most of the Windows Mobile devices (in the UK at least) are set to use operator default shit-slow DNS servers …

… so when you type in Google.com — as I have done MANY SODDING TIMES — and wait for the tick……………. tick………… tick…………….. while the SODDING operating system tries to get the network to do ANYTHING ……………..

Woops, I almost dropped into moaning-MacLeod-mode there.

The fix is simple, you just replace the default DNS servers with something better. Anything. Paul suggested the OpenNIC servers, for example. Take a read of the MoDaCo link above. Jim did and he’s noticed a substantial difference. Wicked!
