So, I mentioned yesterday that UPC (nee NTL and Chorus) were doing a terrible DNS hijack thing. That's annoying and rude, but doesn't have that much impact on most people.
What's considerably worse is when their blood DNS servers go down, as has happened now. I had to locate some alternatives on the Interwebs, using Edge (don't get 3G in apartment) on an iPhone. Bah. Idiots.
Really, if you must fuck with your DNS servers, please ensure that you know what you're doing. As a minor plus, Internet is lovely and fast now, presumably because none of their users can use it because their DNS is not working. Argh.
