Re: [Rant] ISPs refusing to give out DNS server address to custo

Agents refuse to give DNS servers because it's not on their script? Not likely.

The reason is perhaps they aren't allowed to.

As previously stated, if DNS servers were given out upon request, calls would come in with people complaining the internet doesn't work because the DNS server they chose to use was down. Why is that the ISP's problem? It's not.

If you don't know how to get a DNS server yourself, you don't need one.

I have to agree with that. It's just too easy to do it on your own. Is there any particular reason that you just have to use the ISP's DNS servers? There are so many out there that are much better than what most ISP's set up.
