I see that Level 3 is on the list. Please don't use Level 3 DNS[0].
They have no obligation to provide DNS services except to Level 3 customers[1], they don't like providing those services, and they have been known to hijack DNS requests to inject ads and other services[2] for unauthorized users.

- userbinator 12y agoSee this post, where the VP of Level 3 says they're providing open DNS: http://blog.level3.com/level-3-network/a-flawed-study-of-cdns-and-dns/ http://blog.level3.com/level-3-network/a-flawed-study-of-cdn... The request hijacking briefly appeared earlier this year, but they seem to have stopped doing it.
