I guess although I'd find it pretty useful given that I am getting DNS errors at times trying to access certain sites.

They have features up the wazoo, they're reliable and the firmware is great. On my N66-U, I have no problem maxing out my 200mbit on wireless, I haven't used Virgin's DNS for years either.
I'll look into that. Thanks for the tip.
