Why OpenDNS is better than Google DNS

I just got a new Internet provider today.
Then all of a sudden, I could no longer access my Google Adwords account. A pretty big deal.
For those who don’t know, DNS stands for Domain Name Server. When you type in a domain name, your browser needs to contact a DNS to find the real IP address. In other words, a name is translated into a number.
When I tried to access the account, I would simply get a blank screen.
Anyways, long story short, I found out that Google DNS, which I was using, would try to switch me from google.com to google.co.th. And for whatever reason, the local domain just would not work with Adwords.
Once I switched to OpenDNS, everything went back to normal.
