[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 437898, member: 20838"] They want you to use their DNS servers because then they can easier control which websites you can and can't go to. It's a combination of them [URL="http://www.worldlibrary.org/articles/eng/list_of_websites_blocked_in_the_united_kingdom"]having to block websites by law in the UK[/URL] and them being able to monitor your internet footprint, intercept and retain data as per the [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Act_2016"]snoopers charter[/URL] etc. Oh and [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Group#Behavioural_targeting"]illegally harvest data about you [/URL]for their own profit obviously. There was probably nothing wrong with the DNS servers your router was set to use, [URL="https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-public-dns-servers-2626062"]there's numerous reputable free DNS options[/URL] so tell them to go sit and swivel on a courgette.
