Is your ISP Telus?

Why do you expect the ISP evaluation from IPLEAK.NET to change after you tell your computer to use Google's address book to resolve names to its IP equivalent?

Edit: It seems like the "feature" Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution might be the culprit here. This feature, when turned on, will use whichever DNS that responds the fastest. It seems like an easy fix if you're on a Professional version of WIN10, as opposed to Home edition.
