I have returned to TV after a little more than a week away. During the time I was gone [from CenturyLink], I did not have the page loading issue one time. I used several different WiFi networks, including using my phone as a WiFi hotspot, while on the road.

So, since I have suspected the DNS Nameserver is the issue, I went looking for a DNS service to replace it. I looked at Google and OpenDNS as potentials. For various reasons, I choose OpenDNS... The have a Premium service that is free, so I signed up for that. The service allows parental controls and provides stats for your internet usage. You are also able to block certain types of sites, if you wish, like social media sites, etc.

When you signup, they have a website that shows how to change your DNS settings, no matter what operating system or browser you might be using. It's about a 2 minute endeavor to switch everything over and it very easy, even for a novice. I recommend you write down your current DNS server address, just in case you have an issue and need to revert back.

VERDICT: So far, I am very impressed with OpenDNS. I have NOT had a single issue with "Webpage not found" and pages are loading faster than ever. I didn't realize how much a bad DNS server could slowdown your internet response time.

If I find OpenDNS becomes an issue or if the "Web Page cannot be Found" returns, I'll repost to this thread.
