Do you have any thoughts about using Open-DNS would that possibly provide an adequate replacement to my internet providers standard dns service?

I am wondering If I could have just purchased a lesser priced DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem? I ended up purchasing a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem without a built in wireless router.
