It's 8.8.8.8 only...too many eights in there...

Many ISPs will give you DNS servers to use, but those are highly optimized for their network. For example, the company I work for has several Netflix content servers on the network, so when you're asking for Netflix content, it will direct you to something native to our network instead of out to Netflix and back again. Using one of the choices above can insulate you from a variety of problems.
Most network problems at the ISP level come down to two things--code error or human error. Human changes a route on an interface in a config file, jams up the interwebs for a bit, you get slowed down. Code error is during a maintenance window overnight, the code on the router was changed and it looked fine, but in the light of day and full traffic load, the router crashes and jams up the interwebs.
