Many companies use OpenDNS for the same reason. If you have a small to medium sized company, with two internet connections you need a DNS server that is independent of your ISP. Most ISPs block access to their DNS from outside their network. In this case Google's DNS is much better. It will not recursively look up domain names and present an advertising result which is much nicer. Why not ? Many companies use OpenDNS for the same reason.

They forced a company I worked for to stop using it because of volume. I’ve heard that L3 are moving away from a public DNS service.

I guess I will add 8.8.8.8 to that list. I cannot imagine a company running the Google DNS servers as their primary DNS forwarders. I am thinking about performance reasons and technical support, so I will just keep using the providers DNS servers and add Google DNS as third or fourth.
