An option is for you to find an alternative public DNS server that
listens on more than just port 53, and find one that you're not blocked
accessing.  Your own DNS server could be configured to forward external
queries on that port, or you could use iptables rules.

e.g. OpenDNS will also respond to port 5353

While service providers may think they're doing something of benefit by
buggering with your network traffic, I've never found that to be the
case.  Censorship can obliterate wide areas of the net, not just one
small problem.  Trying to provide helpful alternatives instead of just
failing with the correct error message causes its own set of problems. 
And many of these things are just so damn slow it's not funny.
