O2 Users log in with SuperUser (the ID seems to be CASE SENSITIVE, ie with S and U in capitals)
Password: O2Br0ad64nd ie with digits 2064, the first O & B being capital letters

cut and paste the following

dns server route flush
dns server route add dns=208.67.222.222 metric=0 intf=O2_ADSL2plus
dns server route add dns=208.67.220.220 metric=0 intf=O2_ADSL2plus
dns server route list
saveall

Awesome, your advice worked great on Mac OS X as well. I opened Terminal and ran $ telnet

The only pitfall I found was I had to change the blank default password for Administrator via the GUI before I was allowed SuperUser access. O2 Wireless Box II

telnet> open 192.168.1.254
Trying 192.168.1.254...
Connected to 192.168.1.254.

Sorry for the late reply but on my box you can also put them in by running the configuration wizard.

But why not just leave your O2 box and enter a static OpenDNS in to say your PS3 network settings, or any PC's you want to use them on? That way your O2 box stays pretty 'standard'.

I find the more people change, the greater the likelihood that they'll do something wrong and the more difficult it becomes to fault-find.
