Heh. Is there such a thing as a consumer ISP-supplied router that isn't a total POS?
Does BT not let you override their DNS servers? I don't know why ISPs seem to think DNS hijacking is such a good idea. I find it hard to believe they could make any substantial amount of money on it, it just pisses people off.
