Is paying for premium DNS worth the extra $20 a month or is it just a waste?
I spent $25 a month on a premium DNS service for my small business network after reading it would speed things up, but I saw zero difference in load times and it just felt like burning cash, while my buddy swears his $30 a month saved him from three outages last year, so what do you all think, has premium DNS ever actually saved you or did it just light your money on fire?

Did you ever check if your ISP was throttling your connection first?

Premium DNS can help in specific cases like avoiding ISP outages, but it isn't a magic speed booster for everyone. Your buddy might have a flaky ISP that drops connections regularly, while your connection may be stable enough that it doesn't matter. Checking if your ISP is throttling you is a good idea, but that won't change whether premium DNS cuts down on downtime for your particular setup.
