It is frustrating.
I'm trying to update my wife's iPad to iOS 8 now. I can't even get the download to start via my FiOS service and I don't have enough data left this month on my at&t cellular plan to use the same trick as I used on her iPhone.
I'm thinking about walking down the street and trying a neighbor's cable connection to see if that's any better.

Did you put them directly into the machine/device or in the router? some people said they had to put them in the device
Also if those don't work also try level 3's and also open's
Level 3 is 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 and open dns is 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

It's happening because Apple's CDN in your area is getting taxed or it has a peering issue with a particular network. You would have to run an MTR scan to find out if it has a peering issue like that, a regular traceroute will only give a smidgen of actual info.
most likely getting taxed, they sold 6 million new devices in the first 3 or 4 days and that isn't including any of their legacy customers trying to get the update too.

Yep...I understand that. And yes, I tried Google, OpenDNS and Level 3, each entered directly into my Actiontec router.
It's still at least interesting that I run into the problem through FiOS, regardless of what DNS I use, but using at&t cellular data I didn't have the issue.

What difference does it make if I put the DNS server in the device, iPad, etc., or in the router, if the device defaults to 192.168.1.1 to get DNS service from its wifi connection?

They said they were testing and it wasn't passing through the new dns to the devices from the router. I thought it was them misinterpreting what they were seeing because they naturally see the default gateway, but they said there was a difference when they put it in the device direct. I think it's noted on that BBR link I posted earlier.

Also There's a lot of reports that this is compatible for Iphone 4 and 4s but when applied it makes the phone nearly unuseable. So beware, for eljefe, and all others reading this, if you are updating a device like that.

Well, I tried Google's DNS directly in the iPad in question and still no joy.
I may walk down the street and try our neighbor's cable connection, or I may just wait a few days until the iOS 8 / iPhone 6 storm calms down and update my wife's iPad then.

That's what I am waiting for with my wife's too.
That, and I am lazy.
