Your request will be routed to OpenDNS. You can check whether you're using OpenDNS via this dynamic image:

There is no official "1.5 Mbps" package. So if anyone is getting 1.5 Mbps under a 1 Mbps plan, he/she is lucky

Anyway, to explain the D-Link DNS: Your router (whose IP address is 192.168.1.1) acts as a DNS relay. The DNS relay's job is to listen on port 53 (within the local network), and forward all DNS requests from clients within the network to the upstream DNS server (in this case, the Streamyx DNS server). When your computer attempts to resolve a domain name, it will forward the request to your router, and your router in turn forwards the request to the Streamyx DNS server. Once the Streamyx DNS server passed the answer back to your router, your router will in turn pass the answer back to your computer.

This has few functions. Your router can act as a DNS cache. This means that your router will keep a list of recently resolved DNS queries so that your computer can obtain DNS answers more quickly (less latency). Another function is that you won't have to reconfigure all the computers within your network if you change your upstream DNS servers.

Hope this helps
