For instance, I have a device from Hawking that prioritizes data packets on the fly. Really helps with multiplayer games and I understand it works well for VOIP too. Now, if every router on the internet had something similar implemented...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but you know how important it is to SEARCH, and I did.
I have started using Opendns (https://www.opendns.com/ instead of the Time Warner Cable dns and it seems to have improved my cable service significantly in the last three weeks.
so if you have something important in google accounts it is your call to trust OpenDNS. DNS resolution is faster tho but I gave up cause the MITM issue.

Reading that thread and the blog on opendns and doing some testing for myself it seems to be that the redirection is actually benign.. better, in fact, for those on dell/sony/gateway/emachines Windows computers at least.

@TA-t3: Not exactly benign. Basically, they get paid for the ads they put up on that search page, so they really don't have an incentive to fix it any other way. Also, as far as I can find there is no way to completely disable their "search page." Yes I looked and unchecked all the boxes that should have disabled it, and no it didn't go away. So I went back to running my own DNS server. Nothing beats the ping times of localhost, anyways.

One can also prioritize ACKs which is useful on asymmetric lines such as ADSL or cable. (*BSD + PF, Linux + CBQ, throttled for FreeBSD & MacOS X).
If your ISP provides a shitty DNS server I'd opt for a different ISP or opt for an other DNS server in your country. Whenever I can I use the DNS of my DSL ISP because its reliable.
