DNS is required to make the web work (it converts google.com to its IP address 74.14.205.100), but it isn't a real value add, so ISPs throw the minimum required amount of resources and servers into it. OpenDNS is an organization dedicated to providing fast DNS queries for free. Using OpenDNS shouldn't violate your ISP agreements, and if it does you have an unethical ISP. It isn't kosher that some ISPs intercept DNS queries to other servers and redirect them to their own. As another pointed out, this is only so they can spy on you. Now it isn't cool to ISP B if you pay ISP A for your internet service, and configure your computer to use ISP B's DNS servers. But all companies that have a problem with this should have already configured their servers to only respond to DNS requests inside their own ISP range.
