The other problem with using your ISP's DNS severs is they can hijack your request, or be slow/down all the time. 4/5 when the "internet doesn't work" it's just the cable company DNS not working and using Google or OpenDNS "restore service"

This is true, earlier this morning my ISP's secondary DNS server for my state was down. Good thing I roll with my ISP's main server first, and 8.8.8.8 as my secondary nameserver.

They're your ISP, so they can hijack any IP they want if they felt inclined to do so.
