According to the BT page, it's an all or nothing system, can't be
overridden per device.


A very good reason for disabling any ISP provided crap and only using
what you provide.

I dread to think what's squirrelled away inside my Virgin Superhub if I
was using it as a hub.

Also using my own DNS seems sensible.

I have never ever used an ISP supplied or managed router in my life.
