Yes, but at least the incumbents have their cash cows protected (who  
me?  cynical?)

However, you don't have to switch providers to run your own caching  
server.  Unless Cox is intercepting all DNS queries (instead of just  
mucking about with the caching servers they operate), running your  
own caching server will likely solve the problem.
