DNS issues, pages not resolving, very slow speeds, however download speeds are fast and responsive.

Ping and Download Speeds are phenomenal, however the unchangable cox dns servers are far from it...

considering canceling my modem subscription and buying my own to use OpenDNS.

Facebook pages and game servers take extremely long to resolve, yet all my downloads are lightning fast.

Using wifi, yet not getting any choke or loss %. Confusing why my service is so sub-par, but still have a feeling it might be the cox dns servers and the fact that I can't choose to use custom ones.

The residential gateway modems are primarily intended for customers that want a simple solution that works out of the box without the need to change any settings.  Customers looking for a more customize-able solution may want to consider going with a separate modem/router setup.

You can always set your DNS as static on the local or wireless network connection. Here is a walkthrough for windows 7. Ofcourse use your DNS of choice, the one in the article is for the UK. For best available DNS, check out Google's Namebench.
