I think you'd be surprised by the number of people (non-tech included) that are aware of the poor reliability of Comcast's DNS servers. It only happens once before they call their family tech. They'll call customer service, but CS won't be able to resolve the problem as they'll just recommend a reboot of the equipment.
I've even known of Comcast installers (contractors) that will set the second or third DNS server entry to Verizon's DNS (4.2.2.4) just so that when their local DNS servers go down, the customer's connection will continue to resolve domain names.
Nothing quite like having an irate housewife call on a weekend because she can't lookup her webmail or Oprah's book of the week.
