I've just been reading up a bit. Since your modem's DNS is known bad, it
might be a better idea to exclude the DHCP provided nameserver list
entirely rather than just prepending to it. If replacing "prepend" in
the line above with "supersede" works as well, then that would be a
better solution. The resolv.conf file should then only list the two ISP
DNS servers and not list the modem at all after the next reboot.

Any opinion expressed is mine (or else I'm playing devils advocate for
the sake of a good argument). My employer had nothing to do with this
communication.
