More Road Runner DNS woes?

As I wrote about earlier this year, it looks like Time Warner is messing around with DNS again.

This time it’s just randomly timing out on numerous sites across the board. I can traceroute everywhere, but as soon as I try to hit “http://www.google.com”, for example, it sporadically times out.

Anyone else seeing problems like this?

I sure hope this doesn’t have anything to do with them introducing new metered bandwidth plans. You think gas prices are bad? Just wait!

Methinks time’s about up for Time Warner & Road Runner.

7/23 Update: JT.Net reader Ben emails:

For over a week I have started to notice that roadrunner “not found” ads are being provided by oversee.net

I have also notices that domain parked sites and sites of major domain parking companies such as namemedia, tafficz etc are being hijacked and being sent to oversee.net

Can you please check with other who have roadrunner and find out what is going on.

Thanks
Ben

Yes, Ben, I’ve read the same thing recently. Apparently oversee.net is taking over the DNS spamming market.
