And today, Verizon FIOS service requires the user to have CPE that doesn't allow the user to change their DNS
I'm hesitant to publicly disagree with the founder of OpenDNS, but I have a different experience. FiOS doesn't require the use of their provided CPE for Internet access. The ONTs installed have both Ethernet and MoCA ports, and I use a non-Verizon device connected to the ONT's Ethernet. Using a non-MoCA CPE will break Verizon's television boxes, but the fix for this is to simply plug Verizon's supplied CPE into both an Ethernet port on the replacement and the shared coax segment.
- davidu 16y agoI think this is right and what we've heard from users is right. It's actually the same complaint from Uverse customers -- swapping out the ISP-provided CPE breaks their TV service. It seems you've got a work-around. We'd love to update our knowledge base with this. I can't find contact info on your user page, can you email me david at opendns dot com as I have a few more questions.

- Sidnicious 16y agoIt's trivial to change the DNS servers on the gateways currently provided with Verizon FiOS, too. I've done it myself.
