sorry, didn't realize I had not sent it to the list too.

I have ran the command again several times, and now it is much slower,
~30/40 msec

No that doesn't require payment. Usually you want you DNS to be close to

any nameserver in the world will be faster.
So go ahead and use 8.8.8.8 and see if that works better.
